Election Candidates Polled on Transit Issues

EDMONTON - During recent civic elections, the investment in and improvement of public transit in Edmonton has featured prominently among the issues that voters feel are important.

As we have done in previous elections, Citizens for Better Transit, a local non-profit transit advocacy organization, has again polled candidates running for Edmonton City Council on October 18th regarding their views on current public transit issues in our city.

The results of our survey questionnaire, which candidates were asked to respond to by October 1st, are attached. This information is also available on our Web site located at www.bettertransit.ab.ca.

Media are welcome to use any of the material.
