Welcome to Badger Transit
Badger Transit does not yet exist, but the need for a public/private transit authority for the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is at a crossroads and the choice is in the hand of the politicians. Will they choose to listen to the voters and businesses that are demanding public transit, or will they bend to the wills of special interest groups and their deep pockets.
In Milwaukee progress is moving forward on one new form of public transit with the approval for funding for the proposed starter streetcar route in downtown Milwaukee. Currently there is not a designated operator for the new streetcar, and here is where Badger Transit comes in. We propose that a new 501c3 nonprofit group is formed to run transit for the entire state. Badger Transit can be that organization. Now all we need is a group of supporters, businesses, politicians, and local leaders to come together to help Badger Transit get off the ground. Let's get the conversation moving in the right direction so please spread the word and share this with your friends. Wisconsin can be a leader in transit, but only if we take action. Let's start attracting businesses back to our state so people out of work can find jobs again. Let's put permanent transit options in urban areas so investors feel secure in bringing their companies into the Badger State. Thank you, Patrick Carter Founder of DesignMKE LLC transit@onmke.org |
