CACHE VALLEY TRANSIT
(Mr. BISHOP of Utah asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Mr. Speaker, the Cache Valley Transit District in
Logan, Utah, has received an Excellence in Motion award by the national
Community Transportation Association and has been named as the ``Urban
Community Transportation System of the Year.'' Among other criteria,
this award is given to a transportation system that demonstrates
creative and innovative services that are responsive to community needs
and serves an urban area of more than 50,000 people.
The Cache Valley Transit District has a 19-year legacy of fare-free
riding, a precedent for the Nation. They have cultivated close
relationships in the community through traditional and nontraditional
partnerships, such as support for a community art program, a new
medical voucher program, and Call-A-Ride buses which provide curbside
service for the elderly and disabled.
For these and other reasons, they certainly merit the Excellence in
Motion award.
