April 12 – April 19, 2018 COMMUNITY STREETCAR COALITION NEWS CLIPS COMPILED BY BROADCAST CLIPS Oklahoma City KOCO April 18, 2018 LINK: https://bit.ly/2Hc1L7B The Oklahoma City streetcar project, 60% complete. That’s the update from the MAPS 3 program manager. There will be 22 stops, with the car arriving every 12 to 14 minutes. Some of the cars have already arrived here in Oklahoma City; they’re being tested on a closed track. Remember, voters approved a sales tax for this project back in 2009. Norfolk WVEC April 16, 2018 LINK: https://bit.ly/2HAgegY In just a couple of hours we’ll learn more about different options to expand public transportation in Norfolk. HRT had been discussing expanding The Tide on the city’s west side for years, but that’s not happening. Now, HRT is looking at expanding light rail, adding a streetcar or buses to the east side. What led to this shift? The study focused on the west side of the city, which is near Gent and ODU. But they saw several challenges in that study, including flooding, issues with bridges and the interstate over the Lafayette River. Based on the research, HRT recommends the city adopt a no-build for the west side of Norfolk, near ODU and Gent. HRT says the study also found only around 5,000 new riders would use the extension of either bus, light rail or streetcar on an average weekday by 2040, and they don’t think that’s enough to get federal funding, which is very competitive.

VTA introduces new fare app (Mountain View Voice) 2. Bill could add millions of new homes next to California's public transit stations (Silicon Valley Business Journal) 3. Here's what German rail exec says California high-speed rail needs to succeed (Silicon Valley Business Journal) 4. Openings and Construction Starts Planned for 2018 TheTransportPolitic.com VTA introduces new fare app (Mountain View Voice) The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority has unveiled a new, free mobile payment app called EZfare. The app, available for both Android and iPhone, allows transit riders to purchase single rides, day passes and express passes. Single ride fares that are purchased on the app are valid for two hours and include free transfers on buses and VTA's light-rail system. If any part of a rider's two-hour trip includes an express bus, express bus fare will be required. On their website, VTA officials use Levi's Stadium event fare as an example of a ticket that can be purchased. They emphasize the importance of checking the app prior to travel since ticket options do vary by event. Any purchases will be saved in the app history so that riders can access stored, active and expired tickets at any time. Rider history can also be accessed on other smart devices using the account created with the app and a function called "Retrieve My Tickets." Riders can view current pricing for cash or prepaid fares at vta.org/getting-around/fares.

October 5-11, 2018 COMMUNITY STREETCAR COALITION NEWS CLIPS COMPILED BY BROADCAST CLIPS Milwaukee WTMJ October 10, 2018 LINK: https://bit.ly/2pRapRP There are now eleven lawsuits in the works for injuries involving the Milwaukee streetcar tracks. There's an open house for The Hop happening right now at Ogden and Prospect. The purpose of today’s open house is to show off how the hop is going to be accessible to people with disabilities. Right now there are actually several people inside The Hop learning about the features, including a spot designated just for wheelchairs. Even though The Hop is going to be accessible to all people, some people are having a tough time navigating around the tracks. “This is a hazard.” Law firm Hupy and Abraham is now working with 11 clients who say they've been hurt by the street car tracks. All of the incidents happening within about the last 3 months. Attorney Michael Hupy says all of his clients got their tires stuck in the street car tracks and fell off. 7 people were on motorcycles, 4 riding a bike. “Crossing the tracks at an angle vs. trying to ride parallel to the tracks is important.” Most of the incidents happened on the tracks near Milwaukee public market or on Ogden Avenue near Prospect. All 11 clients are now filing a notice of injury with the city of Milwaukee hoping to get reimbursed for their injuries. Yesterday one of the streetcars was damaged when someone parked on the streetcar lined opened their door, hitting the streetcar.
