"Capital region mayors should take a lesson from their counterparts in the Lower Mainland in presenting a united front on a major issue."

"The reality is that transportation improvements will cost money, whatever form they take, and it cannot all be recovered in user fees - tolls or fares -----; but the starting point is co-ordinated action by mayors and others."

ask them if they use public transit: when,where and how often!

Thank you for that suggestion. While ITO did not ask that of the candidates directly, we can report that our survey of public preferences has overwhelmingly recorded a desire to use public transit rather than personal cars, IF that transit was within 6 blocks, frequent and reliable. We believe that most candidates would respond likewise; in fact, we find that many of them already use bikes!
