Transportation Secretary will hold Town Hall on transportation issues on Tuesday, in New Orleans.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood will kick off a nationwide tour on transportation policy in New Orleans, Louisiana on Tuesday, December 1 at 8:00 a.m. CST. Secretary LaHood, who will be joined by Mayor Ray Nagin, will hear from local transportation officials and stakeholders to gather feedback about key transportation issues and how they should be addressed in the next surface transportation bill.
Following the town hall, Secretary LaHood and Mayor Nagin will tour select Katrina recovery project sites in the city that support enhanced mobility for citizens and sustainable recovery street rebuilding projects. The tour will include the Regional Transit Authority's (RTA) Carrollton Car Barn and Union Passenger Terminal.
Secretary LaHood will tour the RTA plant and learn from RTA staff about the manufacturing and sustainability of the city's street cars.
And the development and institution of highspeed rail or monorail systems have benefits that will increase the quality of life for many. To be able to journey in a safe, inexpensive, and semi convenient fashion is a true reflection of what freedom truly means. People being able to travel out of the city, people being able to travel to the city, people being able to effortlessly experience and enjoy what other people in other locals do. That is what the exchange of ideas and communication is all about. Travel is much more real than cyber talking...... There is no substitute for freedom, or one that is viable anyways........

The street car system in New Orleans is a very convenient form of transportation for many. It is also a service, that if managed properly does have the potential to pay for itself in many ways. It's preservation, enhancement, and even perpetuation onto a higher platitude for the provison of services to the many are a meaningful and nobel aspiration. And methods to reduce operational or obtainment costs for its infrustrucure should be pursued vigourously and adopted into the S.O.P. Written by
