Today we announced our group name change from Ozark Rail and Bus Transit Society to NWA GO. You can still look us up online by looking up ORBTS. The website now reads NWA GO.  We incorporated 2 years ago, and voted in a Board of Directors. Two years is the time limit, as I understand […]

We are now NWA GO. The reason for the name change is that we want to start a YouTube channel. When I began to do that I found that we share too many words in our old name with Ozark Regional Transit Authority. This was confusing. We want the public to us when they look […]

Earlier this week I spoke with a city official from NWA. We discussed the state of our mini-MegaRegion. The likelihood of a new sales passing is an uphill battle, why trains are a necessary piece of infrastructure but may be rejected by elected officials, and why ORBTS is seen as too pro-rail. We didn’t talk […]
