"There's no place I don't use the bus to go. You can go anywhere you need to go on the bus."
— Isaiah Randolph, MACS Bus Rider,
Fairbanks

"I ride the bus to work every day. Summertime, too. The number one reason is all the money I can save by not buying gas for my car." — Erika Coons, MACS Bus Rider,
North Pole


"Every government, every state, needs to provide public transit to areas that they open up for residential and for expansion. It is their duty to not only make sure that people get there, but that they have a way of supporting themselves and paying taxes, and that involves public transit."

"You need public transit to make sure those people who are expanding out there have the safety net to prosper and succeed, which makes the state prosper and succeed.

"Our organization, SNO, is trying to develop public transit in Salcha. Nearly one-third of the population in Salcha live without indoor plumbing, so they have to make their way into North Pole just to get a shower and their clothes washed. When you don't have a car and/or it's not running, that's a large problem."

— Melissa Wills-Markgraf,
Salcha Neighborly Organization, Salcha

 

"I believe increasing our transportation options, expecially with transit, will help improve the air quality in Fairbanks."
