Expand DASH Bus Routes to More Neighborhoods
Mayor Euille understands that encouraging residents to make use of public transportation is not enough- we must work to expand DASH bus routes so more residents can ably take advantage of our public transportation. This will also reduce gas emissions and protect the environment.
