PORTLAND – The League of Young Voters Education Fund and the Maine Alliance for Sustainable Transportation is holding a forum called We CAN Get There From Here! In a time when gas prices are rising, jobs and affordable health insurance are hard to find, and climate change is imminent, people need options to get where they need to go. The goal of this forum is to bring all different modes of sustainable transportation together around a shared vision. During the forum, we will hear from experts of each mode, and we will break out into groups to develop action items that will help with implementation of this vision. The forum will be held at The Merrill Auditorium Rehearsal Hall on Tuesday, May 25th from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Our speakers include experts from the Bicycle Coalition of Maine, METRO, The Portland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, The Rail Transit Coalition, and GO MAINE. We will also be hearing from Jennifer Puser , Deputy Director for the Governor’s office of Energy Independence and Security. At the end of the evening, GO MAINE will be presenting information on how we as a community helped to reduce traffic congestion and auto emissions, as well as auto trips, miles, tons of pollution, and gallons of gasoline, not to mention the money we saved during the month of May – Transportation Month.
