Fall 06 SOS Meeting Report
Topic: Green Transit
Convener: Cathy Holt
Participants: Jonah, Raphael, Beth, Steve, Cathy History of topic: Robert Eidus & Cathy Holt are forming a Green Transit Co-operative, website www.greentransitnc.com. The goal is to offer biodiesel fueled shared ride services which would include airport shuttle, commute service, late night rides for party goersKey discussion points:
Airport service seems most promising. Maybe commuters from Madison County to Asheville. How could this group work with the city to get more riders? Many commuters rely on their private cars to do shopping after work, how could that feature get incorporated? Why don’t people carpool more, anyway? Suggestions: take people to farmers’ markets. Get people to organize a full car load for a discount. Service the Orange Peel. Get a Volvo diesel.
