We Did It!
CART Members Help Run Futuristic Transit System!
Historic inspection of system by Jefferson, Hardin, and Meade county officials to occur on November 8th. Thanks to the generous contributions of CART members and other concerned citizens, we now have enough money to run an inspection train and inspection bus along the Dixie Highway corridor. For three glorious hours, Louisville will have something resembling a commuter system along Dixie Highway, out to Fort Knox, and south to Elizabethtown.
This day will not have been possible without the generous contributions of the following entitites:
- All our donors! Thank you!
- The Paducah & Louisville Railroad, for operating the train and providing the crews
- Miller Transportation, for giving us a great deal on charter motor coaches
- Louisville Metro Council for agreeing to match private donations 1:1
- The councils of Muldraugh, West Point, and Radcliff for taking a chance on us early
- Project leader John Owen for dusting off the old KIRA plan, and sticking to his vision
- Our friends out at TARC, TACK, and KIPDA for advice and support

If you're only now learning of this fundraising drive, but you still want to contribute, rest assured the CART General Fund has been greatly depleted from jump-starting this venture. By joining CART today, you'll ensure CART has the funds to seize future opportunities to promote public transportation.
