SUMMARY:Episode 02\: Transportation with Paul Ballard\, Metro Transit Authority
DESCRIPTION:\nCity Vision\: Episode 102 [http\://vimeo.com/2764138] from Gary Gaston [http\://vimeo.com/user1122890] on Vimeo [http\://vimeo.com]. Follow-Up             on Issues Featured on CityVisions\n Paul Ballard of MTA Speaks discusses Public Transportation\n The           Regional Transportation Authority worked with the Federal Transportation           Authority and local government to bring commuter rail service to Middle           Tennessee.  Operations began in September 2006.\n Commuters riding the train will enjoy a comfortable ride while saving         on parking\, gas and automobile costs. This commuting alternative will         not only result in reduced stress for the commuter\, it will reduce traffic         congestion\, improve air quality\, and encourage economic development in         our region.\n Over time\, the RTA hopes to expand commuter service to a regional transit       network linking downtown Nashville with the following areas\:\n  •            Northeast (Briley Parkway\, Hendersonville and Gallatin)\n •            East (Hermitage\, Mt. Juliet and Lebanon)\n •            Southeast (Hickory Hollow\, LaVergne\, Smyrna and Murfreesboro)\n •            South (Brentwood\, Cool Springs\, Franklin and Columbia)\n •            West (Belle Meade\, Bellevue and Kingston Springs)\n •            Northwest (Northern Cheatham County including Ashland City)\n •            North (Robertson County including Springfield)\n  For           more information on the RTA’s Commuter Rail Service\, call 615.862.8833        or email them rta@gnrc.org [mailto\:rta@gnrc.org?subject=More%20info].\n The Music City Star\n The train runs from Lebanon to Downtown Nashville and back. There are           six stations along the route\: Lebanon\, Martha\, Mount Juliet\, Hermitage\,           Donelson\, and the Riverfront in Downtown Nashville. The first route           leaves Lebanon at 5.45 AM\, and the last one returns to Lebanon at 6.35       PM. One-way tickets for the full route are $5.00 each.\n Why       Is Public Transportation Good for Middle Tennessee – and You?\n  *           Public transportation is more energy-efficient than single-vehicle                     use – which               is good for the wallet.\n  *           Public transportation cuts down on traffic congestion – which                 is good for you.\n  *           Public transportation cuts down on pollution – which is good                   for the environment.\n  *           Public transportation – if it’s well-designed – can                     have a positive impact on real estate prices – which is good                     for the economy.\n  *           Public transportation ensures that everyone has the opportunity                       for mobility – which                       is good for society.\n  *           Public transportation helps deter urban sprawl – which is good                         for Middle Tennessee.\n  *           Public transportation is part of an efficient transportation                           infrastructure – which                           is one of the Ten Principles of The Plan of Nashville. That’s                           why the Nashville Civic Design Center supports public transportation.\n
