COUNTYWIDE : Free Transportation Forum Set Saturday
- Share via
Orange County’s expenditures on car-pool lanes and rail transit at the expense of new highways will be debated Saturday at a forum sponsored by Drivers for Highway Safety.
The group’s first in a series of free public transportation forums will feature Dana W. Reed, a Costa Mesa attorney who serves as the public at-large member of the Orange County Transportation Authority board, and Alan Bock, senior editorial writer for the Orange County Register.
Brief presentations will be followed by question-and-answer periods.
The inaugural forum is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. in Randell’s restaurant in the National Bank of Long Beach building, 3 Hutton Centre Drive in Santa Ana.
Drivers for Highway Safety is a small, grass-roots organization critical of the cost of mass transit and car-pool lanes, which its members believe are inefficient. Members advocate construction of new freeways or freeway lanes. Members of the group opposed Measure M, the half-cent sales tax for traffic improvements adopted countywide in November, 1990.
