Rally for Transit

Come join us at the Rally for Transit, Jobs, & Economic Growth!

Let’s make our voices heard loud and clear, here and across the state! We can get an RTA and create new jobs and economic growth but our window of opportunity is VERY short.

Join us at the Transit Rally! It’s time to get the RTA moving forward!! We can’t afford to wait.

Saturday, December 5 at 1:00 PM
Veterans Memorial Park, National Avenue at 70th St. in West Allis, WI
On bus routes: 54, 76, and 18
Park on west side of Market Square parking lot (near Pick N Save), enter off National Avenue just west of 70th St.)

The RTA is urgently needed now
Dedicated funding for buses is needed now. We cannot afford to wait and watch our bus system crumble and KRM Commuter Rail get sidelined along with the jobs and economic growth it would bring.
– Our regional economic growth and economic competitiveness are paramount and depend on good regional transit and an RTA.

– Job connections and job creation must be a top priority and also rely on a vibrant regional transit network and an RTA. We need to invest in creating jobs!

– We must create the environment where the economy and jobs can grow: transit is a necessity and an RTA is needed to support a good regional transit network.

– Transit cuts are imminent and will hurt businesses, workers, and tax payers when people can’t get to work, school, shopping, healthcare. Transit dependent people rely on transit services as their lifeline. Unemployment and isolation hurts everyone. We must have adequate, dedicated transit funding now.
