Many people depend on this for work. It also cuts down on traffic and pollution.

]]> Wed, 20 May 2015 09:56:57 UTC 18894955 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18894791?utm_medium=rss We call congressman Mark Sanford to withdraw his proposed legislation.

]]> Tue, 19 May 2015 05:02:38 UTC 18893504 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18893343?utm_medium=rss We have a stop outside of ECCO where one to six people get on and off during each stop which stops here 44 times a day.

]]> Tue, 19 May 2015 03:25:57 UTC 18893343 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18893000?utm_medium=rss As an employer in Charleston County, I rely on the affordable CARTA bus system to get my employees to work. I run a busy hotel in the Mount Pleasant area and it is imperative that my line level staff like housekeepers, housemen, breakfast attendants, maintenance staff, and front desk agents have a way to get to the hotel for various shifts starting in early morning to late evening.
Due to the extreme increase in cost of housing in Mount Pleasant, most of my workers come from other areas including North Charleston. Our area already has difficulty in recruiting and maintaining employment for slightly above minimum wage workers yet they are imperative to the hospitality industry in Charleston to provide the guest experience and tax dollars for the state. Any increase in difficulty to access jobs in this area would greatly impact this industry and our business. The state needs to increase public transportation and funding and not even consider cutting it!

And, by the way tourists, whom we have come to depend on so heavily, expect it.

]]> Mon, 18 May 2015 04:01:20 UTC 18891322 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18891201?utm_medium=rss Public funding to bring public transit into the 21st century is good for business, good for the environment, eases traffic congestion, reduces accidents... Why would you not support this?

Don't take that away.

Some can't afford a car for whatever reason and mass transit has been not only a life saver but possible a job saver as well. Instead of finding ways to remove funding that help the masses, I believe funds should be made available to improve the public transportation system that is already in place.

]]> Sat, 16 May 2015 01:08:51 UTC 18886668 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18878035?utm_medium=rss I rely on CARTA every day to get to work. If funding is cut for CARTA I won't be able to get to work, hence I won't be able to pay my bills,, and I will turn to a life of crime and wind up in prison sponging off the American taxpayer.

]]> Wed, 13 May 2015 01:39:36 UTC 18878035 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18877345?utm_medium=rss Please do not defund the bus. Many people with disabilities use this as their only access to counseling and other appointments.

I can't believe Sanford is considering defunding it! If anything, add more funding!

]]> Wed, 13 May 2015 08:36:40 UTC 18877068 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18873635?utm_medium=rss Tue, 12 May 2015 09:41:43 UTC 18873635 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18870222?utm_medium=rss Mon, 11 May 2015 09:35:37 UTC 18870222 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18868782?utm_medium=rss Sun, 10 May 2015 07:37:54 UTC 18868782 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18858720?utm_medium=rss We cannot afford to have any part of the Charleston County infrastructure to roll in reverse. We must grow the infrastructure in order to insure the prosperity of our region.

]]> Thu, 7 May 2015 04:51:44 UTC 18858720 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18858535?utm_medium=rss Thu, 7 May 2015 03:39:48 UTC 18858535 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18858524?utm_medium=rss Thu, 7 May 2015 03:35:18 UTC 18858524 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18858514?utm_medium=rss I use the bus regularly to commute to the College of Charleston. After using the free access through the College and getting used to it, I would use the bus even if I had to pay for it. That's one whole vehicle off of the road, which helps tremendously with Charleston's congestion problems -- problems which are not going to go away as Charleston grows larger. Remember, as County Council Chairman Elliot Summey pointed out, we are bounded geographically by the sea and rivers. Charleston needs as many forms of communication as we can efficiently maintain. With the help of well-used federal funds, bus transit is a possibility. Without it, our working class which props up the tourism economy will be unable to continue working.

]]> Thu, 7 May 2015 03:31:50 UTC 18858514 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18858089?utm_medium=rss Charleston and many other U.S. Cities are facing a transportation crisis from vehicle congestion. Solutions are complicated and expensive but time is running out to create and implement a workable transportation plan. Growth in Charleston is booming and all steps must be taken to accommodate the opportunities. It is extremely shortsighted to do away with Federal transit funding. Is Congressman Sanford being briefed on the urgent transportation needs in the Charleston region. Someone needs to do some "hand holding."

The tri county area is growing so fast that we will need to accommodate more traffic faster than we can build roads. Now is the time to set the infrastructure for a good public transit system. This is good for everyone. I grew up in a city where high school students took public transit home. There were discounts offered through the school based on your family income. If we could implement this we could solve multiple problems. We could increase public transit use while alleviating some school bus budget problems. Having a good public transit helps all, people who can't afford cars would be able to go to work, and traffic would be reduced for people on the road. Win, win.
