  WHEREAS, The  Discover  Niagara  Shuttle  has  connected  more  than
100,000  visitors  and  residents  to  17 destinations along the Niagara
river  corridor,  traveling  all  the  way  from  old  fort  Niagara  in
Youngstown,  through  Lewiston, along the Niagara gorge, and all the way
to the city of  Niagara  Falls  and  its  beautiful  parks  and  natural
wonders; and

  WHEREAS, It has been reported that operation of the Discover Niagara
Shuttle has injected $35,000,000 into the Niagara County economy in just
the first season alone; and
