Introducing: THREE BIG REASONS TO HOP ONBOARD RAIL!

August 7, 2008

Members of Go Rail Go gave a presentation at the Downtown Neighborhood Board Meeting on why rail is good for our island - it reduces congestion, improves our environmental outlook and allows for a better future for our kids.  We Will Ride was also represented at the meeting.  Thank you to all who came out to support us.

Members of Go Rail Go attended the Livable Communities Forum sponsored by AARP Hawaii and One Voice for Livable Islands, in cooperation with the Nutrition and Physical Activity Coalition, and featured walking advocate Mark Fenton: Monday, August 6th  Participants not only learned about the need for more livable communities; but also new opportunities for involvement in creating livable communities here in Hawaii - including the promotion of pedestrian safety and supporting the proposed rail system.  Members of Go Rail Go spoke to particpants about what GRG does, the benefits of rail, how rail contributes to livable communities and our upcoming events. 

 

GoRailGo Team Attends Rail Rally: On Friday, August 1st supporters of the rail transit movement came out for a Rail Rally and Sign-Waving at the State Capital.  At the Rally, a new coalition of Hawaii's young people who support Rail came together and introduced We Will Ride (www.wewillridehawaii.com).

“If you are like me, I had signed the Anti-Rail Petition to stop rail without much thought.  I later discovered that the Stop Rail people are proposing Hot Lanes/Toll roads.  On the mainland, they are called “Lexus Lanes” because it costs $8-12 per trip and only the rich can afford to drive on them.

I also learned that the head of The Bus in Honolulu has said adding more buses on Hot Lanes during rush hour won’t work because the roads are already at capacity.  When I learned these and other facts, I changed my mind.

To take my name off the Anti-Rail petition, I signed the letter on this website and gave it to GoRailGo.  It became obvious to me that Rail is the only workable solution.  If you were misinformed like me, I urge you to click the Un-sign the Anti-Rail Petition button, download the letter, fill it out and mail it to GoRailGo. 

Do it for your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren."

Sincerely,

Aunty Jennie Chun
