SUMMARY:Sierra Club Monthly Program: Project Connect + Election Candidates and Issues
DESCRIPTION:From the Sierra Club –\nHappy Hour /food and beverages (http://www.scholzgarten.com/): 6-7 pm \nSocializing and informal discussions on current events: 6-7 pm \nAnnouncements and program begin at 7 pm \nPROGRAM: Justin A. Henderson\, Government Relations Coordinator at Capital Metro will be the speaker. \nConsider biking\, carpooling\, or taking Cap Metro (http://www.capmetro.org/planner) to the meeting. Free parking is available after 6pm on San Jacinto and nearby streets. \nWhat Capital Metro has to say about Project Connect: \nCentral Texas is rapidly changing. Our population just hit 2 million and it’s projected to double by 2040. In that same time\, road capacity is expected to increase by only 15 percent. We need a change. \nInstead of wondering how we can fit more cars on our roads\, we need to think about how we can move more people. We need affordable options that connect our communities to jobs\, schools\, health care and so much more. And\, we need to ensure our plan can adapt to innovations that could make our system fully electric\, always connected and\, eventually\, autonomous. \nWe call this bold vision Project Connect. It won’t be our vision alone\, though. It will be the community’s plan … a complete system of reliable and frequent transit with congestion-proof services that operates free from other traffic. \nHelp us get there. Capital Metro is relying on you to shape the future of transportation in Central Texas.
