IGTIGT Phase I Summary Statements - Draft 2/18/11

Summary Number: 2
 
Improve and increase mass transit. Increase viable transportation options.
 
 "Make public transit so people want to use it. Change its image so it's not only used out of necessity, but as a choice."
 "Wish I could at least have the option to take public transportation twice a week to work, and wish there was safe, reliable public transportation from the Foothills to downtown and to campus on the weekends."
 "Cheaper bus fair for the area youth"
 "As someone who would rather not drive, the fact that a car is necessary in Tucson is disheartening. There do not seem to be very good alternatives - there aren't enough bus routes, no light rail, etc. Tucson is not a small city anymore, although it likes to think it is. We need to take a good look at how we're developing and make smart investments in infrastructure, and I hope a good mass transit system is one of them (not just freeways)."
 "If we can't get a freeway system, let's add a light rail system. I would like to be more sustainable and not drive often, but I can't depend on the Sun Tran."
 "Make SunTran so efficient that people prefer it to driving to school/work"
 "Too many cars and not enough viable transportation options"
 "Sprawled out so it's hard to connect the different directions together w/public transportation"
