Rally in Bethlehem on Thursday To Stop LANTA Cuts and Fund Mass Transit

Lehigh Valley Coalition for Appropriate Transportation (LVCAT) and Transit For All PA are hosting a rally on Thursday, 10:30 am, at Bethlehem's Payrow Plaza to seek more state funding for LANTA as well as other mass transit systems in the Lehigh Valley. They promise "remarks from local and regional elected officials, labor leaders, transit riders, and more." The persons I'd really like to hear from are the transit riders, many of whom are already suffering as some of these cuts have already started. While some routes probably attract too few riders to be viable, I know of several lines that always are quite busy. 

Unfortunately, this rally is scheduled during business hours, when many of you are working. But Transit For All Pa is urging you to contact your state legislators.

Mass transit is being funded.

The only issue is the EXTRA 1/4 BILLION INCREASE that is actually to bail out SEPTA.

Anyone attending the protest is a useful idiot.

Forget the cuts taxing people I wonder what politicians love to spend and tax

Just another silly gesture that will accomplish nothing. Do you think legislators listen to you commoners?

Wow, Mr Warren is onto something

How many of the participants will be using LANTA to get to the event?

None, they are all well healed zealots

Anyone who protests anything that involves the government is just wasting their quality time.

The only elected representatives that can help are the state and federal ones. However, many local ones will attend with great speeches and meaningless resolutions. They are there for a politics pop. You want meaningful relief, roost the state and federal officials. Local politicians are meaningless, and they know it. What will Samuelson, Freeman and Slosberg do?
