Make Our Transportation System Equitable, Accessible and Clean.

Most recent update:

A 'Better Beltline' Corridor does not include additional lanes

Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) is studying a possible expansion of the number of lanes on the beltline, and their most recent Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study update includes the possible addition of a general purpose lane as well as an extension of the flex lane from USH 18/151 to Parmenter St.

While the current study includes some exciting proposals including improved local road crossings, bike and pedestrian connections, park and ride options and transit priority improvements, the inclusion of an additional travel lane is disappointing.

Sierra Club - Great Waters Group's first program of our new program year will feature a speaker from the Milwaukee County Transit System talking about the current state of transit in the county, plans for the future, how GWG members can support the development of a regional transit authority, and tips for successful bus riding.

After you have learned about public transit at the program, experience the real thing with us on Saturday, October 3 when we meet up to ride the bus to the Mitchell Park Domes. We will have bus captains that will meet folks at three locations around the area and will help ensure that everyone has an easy time riding the bus.

Why it Matters

Multi-modal transportation systems are not only good for the climate -- they're good for people! It connects us to opportunities and helps public health. Show support for walking, biking and public transit!

Wisconsinites deserve an effective, convenient and clean transportation system that connects everyone to the places they want to go.

By supporting a range of transportation options (like walking, biking and transit), better connectivity across communities, and more livable communities, we envision a healthier, happier Wisconsin for all who live here.
