The Richmond Transit Riders Union calls on your support for the 'Transportation Policy Element' found in the January 6, 2011 Draft of the Chesterfield County Comprehensive Plan, specifically Chapter IV: Section T 2.2, calling for an increase of "...local and regional mobility and transportation choices by enhancing transit services and providing viable travel alternatives."

We support a Chesterfield County which is for better public transportation and connectivity to the Richmond Region, that is:

• reliable and responsive with expanded service to job centers, medical care, social services, retail, and recreational/cultural offerings,
• conscious of choice riders who are concerned about the environment,
• affordable and is accessible to low income residents,
• in support of Transit Oriented Development.
