| WHEREAS, These agencies operate a wide range of systems, | ||
| among them rail, fixed-route bus lines, park-and-ride service, | ||
| downtown trolleys, harbor ferries, van pools, tourist trams, and | ||

| which promotes public transportation and advocates for its members | ||
| in metropolitan, small urban, and rural areas alike; and | ||

| Legislature hereby recognize March 7, 2023, as Transit Day at the | ||
