Yet another Setback for Transit in Tennessee

The Tennessee Department of General Services is cutting the employee transit card program effective July 1st. They had decided to cut the program to “save” the state $750,000 but they are not considering the real cost. Now, those State employees will need to drive and park their cars downtown. Surely, the cost of providing parking lots is more than bus passes, not to mention the environmental costs, additional traffic, cost to the individual and, overall, it’s another huge step backwards for Transit in this state

Please add your comments and concerns about the effects of slashing this program.
