                          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.
