<br />RESOLUTION
<br />WHEREAS; The citizens of this community have long been in need of satisfactory transportation facilities in the
<br />course of their every day lives, and
<br />WHEREAS; These same citizens have recently been`burder kith a rate increase for bus transportation in this
<br />community, and
<br />WHEREAS: The people did not object to a rate increase due to the fact that they expected adequate transportation
<br />facilities to be provided by the Northern Indiana Transit Company in return for the increase fares that
<br />were to be charged, and
<br />WHEREAS: The people of this community are now, and have been, objecting to the poor bus schedules, unclean
<br />buses, insufficient bus capacity, and the general unsatisfactory accommodations and facilities that
<br />the Northern Indiana Transit Company is, and has been, trying to pass off as a public service, and
<br />WHEREAS: These unsatisfactory bus accommodations have forced many citizens of this community to use their
<br />personal cars for transportation to and from work thus adding to an already serious traffic problem
<br />during certain hours of the day, and
<br />WHEREAS: This unsatisfactory bus service not only places limitations and problems before the people in the
<br />course of their every day lives, but these same unsatisfactory conditions give our community a black
<br />eye in the eyes of travelers to this area that have occasion to try to use this so- called public
<br />service, and
<br />WHEREAS: As citizens of this community, we would like to take pride in all civic, governmental, private and
<br />public services that are offered to our citizens and such other people that may temporarily have
<br />occasion to use them, but in view of these unsatisfactory public services that are f oced upon the
<br />people, we are sadly lacking in things to take pride in; Therefore Be It
<br />RESOLVED: The St. Joseph County Industrial Union Council - CIO go on record as requesting the Mayors of South
<br />Ben(And Mishawaka, The Association of Commerce of South Benc�And Mishawaka to investigate and take
<br />whatever steps are necessary to see that bus service in this community is improved; and Be It Finally
