This forum is being sponsored by the Alliance for Sustainable & Equitable Regional Transportation (ASERT), a consortium made up of CAUSE, COAST and PUEBLO. The ASERT May 10th Regional Transportation Forum coincides with National Train Day and is part of a series of community forums featuring leaders in the field of public transit from both Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.

Speakers: Rick Cole - Ventura City Manager, Grant House - Santa Barbara City Council, Katherine Perez - Transportation Planner - So Cal Transportation and Land Use Coalition, and Ron Botoroff - Ventura County Civic Alliance.

Go by Bicycle
From the Ventura E. P. Foster library to the Oxnard transportation station is about 10.5 miles, which would probably take about an hour to bike. Here is a rout that Google suggested. There might be better ones.

Go by Carpool
If you drive by yourself from Ventura, round-trip you put about 22 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. If you carpool:

• with one other person you can cut that to 11 pounds per person,
• two people, and it's 7.3 pounds for each person,
• four people would be 5.5 pounds of carbon emission per person.

If you received this message from a friend, and you'd like to be on Ventura's Global Warming email list, send a note to the action@vccool.org with instructions to add you to the global warming e-mail list.

To remove yourself from our list, simply send a note to action@vccool.org with a request to remove you from the global warming list..
