This just in from Lee Matsueda over at TRU:
Join TRU before and during the MBTA’s Board Meeting
12:15 pm, Thursday, July 13th
outside the Food Court at the Transportation Building, 10 Park Plaza, downtown Boston (near the corner of Tremont and Stuart streets)
At last month’s TRU Rox/Dot Committee meeting the group decided it was ready for an initial action. This is not the only way to recruit other riders, win service improvements, and stop the fare increase, but it is a start. To be honest the meetings are boring but we’re planning on having some fun and making our presence known during the public comment period at the beginning of the meeting. The details will be decided upon at the TRU Rox/Dot Committee meeting on Monday, July 10th.
There are 9 MBTA board members including the Secretary of Transportation for the State of MA and MBTA Board Chair, John Cogliano. Please consider if you can make this meeting (it is at a weird time of the day – 1pm) and if you are willing to “kindly” address individual MBTA board members during the public comment period.
REMEMBER to bring a PICTURE ID (we need it to go into the meeting)
Thanks,
