Citizens for Appropriate Transportation (CAT)

Eisenhower Transportation Corridor

CAT MISSION STATEMENT

CAT Home

Citizens for Appropriate Transportation (CAT) is a citizen organization formed in response to the threat of expanding the Eisenhower Expressway. CAT is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Eisenhower Corridor from Austin to Hillside.

CAT believes:

· Adding lanes to the Eisenhower Expressway is unnecessary.

· Expanding the Eisenhower Expressway would harm our communities without reducing traffic congestion.

· The state should study the full spectrum of alternatives, taking into account all transportation modes.

· The existing environmental and social impacts of the Eisenhower Expressway harm our communities and should be reduced.

· Active and informed public participation are necessary to ensure that community concerns are addressed.

Membership in CAT is informal, but open to all individuals and organizations who subscribe to these beliefs. Membership is free. To join, click on the CAT Home Page, then click Contact Us to send an e-mail with your name, address, and e-mail address.
