Women Voters concerned over lack of bus shelters

The League of Women Voters is an organization which encourages informed, active participation of citizens in government. In keeping with this tradition, the Monmouth County LWV recently hosted a Transportation Roundtable at Brookdale Community College.

As a result of widespread concern expressed that evening, the league has developed a series of petitions. One of the issues, bus shelters, especially in areas serving senior citizens, emerged as a need throughout the county. Attendees learned that requests for such shelters must be directed to the municipality where the shelter is needed.

The municipality can then forward the request to NJ Transit. Copies of the petitions have been sent to those attending the roundtable. Any other citizens interested in pursuing bus shelters in their community may request a copy by writing to: Monmouth County LWV, P.O. Box 414, Oakhurst 07755.
