Rally for sustainable transportation
On January 26, 2011 there is an important public rally for sustainable transportation. It is being held in front of the Central YMCA starting at 8:30am. This is the location of the Metrolinx Board meeting where they will be receiving the most recent study on electrification of the regional commuter rail network. See www.metrolinx.com for their information on the study.
Clean Train Coalition is a volunteer, non-partisan group representing communities along the rail corridor between Union and Pearson. We are in favour of increasing the availability of sustainable public transit, and have been advocating for the past two years to encourage Metrolinx and the Province use clean electric trains for this system expansion. We strongly believe the Air Rail link should be electric from the outset, and that the communities between Union Station and Pearson Airport should be better served with healthy and well-integrated electric transit.
Build it right, build it once. GO Electric NOW!
We hope to see you at the Central YMCA, 20 Grosvenor this coming Wednesday!
Please circulate and attend if you can. You can click on the poster below to enlarge it, and copy for posting and/or printing.
