TRANSPORTATION CIRCUS

Here’s a local Milwaukee event that’s free and open to the general public. Attend if you can and let us know how this event went.

What: 88Nine Radio Milwaukee presenting a TRANSPORTATION CIRCUS.
When: Tuesday, March 31 beginning at 5:30p until 7:30p.
Where: 220 East Pittsburgh Ave., Milwaukee, WI.
88Nine Radio Milwaukee Walker’s Point location

This appears to be a new format for a transportation discussion in Milwaukee, hosted by a public radio station that’s turned itself into an Internet Radio station that has a strong cult following. Several businesses, non-profits and government entities are coming together to make this happen.
Event partners include Milwaukee County Transit System, The Milwaukee Streetcar, Milwaukee Brewing Co., (YES! Free beer!) Uber, Bublr Bikes, Wisconsin Bike Fed, and many, many more. Attendees do not need to register. (Just find a parking spot, if you drive.)

The Wisconsin Association of Railroad Passengers (WisARP) has since 1977 been involved in planning, advocating and educating the public on the need for more passenger trains.
WisARP, an association with more than 600 members, exists to promote passenger trains as a part of a balanced national transportation system. It is made up of people who enjoy traveling by train, find it a practical way to travel, and are dedicated to preserving and improving the quality and quantity of passenger trains in Wisconsin and the nation. We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. Our funding comes entirely from dues.
