CRTC Is Raising Funds to Start Metro Rail Expansion Planning

[Map of Cobblestone Loop Proposal, 18KB]

The Citizens Regional Transit Corporation is moving ahead on our goal to get planning started on a short expansion of Metro Rail in the Cobblestone Loop. And you can help!

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to fund a feasibility study by Stone Consulting, a renowned firm that specializes in planning public transit expansions. Stone is known for delivering high-quality results...and Metro Rail definitely deserves high-quality planning as it is our number one transport asset.

UPDATE: We've reached 45% of our goal!

Download the feasibility study proposal and our special fundraising letter in order to get started!

Mission of the CRTC

The Citizens Regional Transit Corporation is committed to creating a broad base of support for the improvement and expansion of bus and rail transit for all citizens of the Niagara Frontier.

The purpose of the corporation is to build an understanding of the benefits of transit by facilitating public participation through educational events, information sharing and other outreach efforts.

CRTC operates on a grass-roots level, meaning we spead word through concerned citizens writing letters and being involved which then reaches upwards to the commercial and govermental levels. This is essential to CRTC's mission of providing transit access for everyone. We need your help!

The Citizens Regional Transit Corporation welcomes anyone over the age of 18 to become a member and/or attend our meetings. We meet once a month at 3300 Main Street (University Presbyterian Church), on the third Friday of the month at noon (bag lunches are welcome). In addition, we have evening meetings in the same location occasionally through the year.

To join, there are no membership requirements except a yearly dues payment of $25($5 for students). Corporate memberships are $150/year. Of couse, all are encourged to attend our meetings and other CRTC activities. Any help is appreciated!

Navigating this site is also simple. Use the Documents link to view documents like expansion plans.
