NWA GO

I have written before on our goal of getting citizens out to city and county meetings to support the development of public transit. I just thought of a title for this year’s activism: Make the Ask in 2023. I will be traveling to “make the ask” to Fayetteville City Hall, Washington DC, and Little Rock.…

Update on our trip to Little Rock to address the Transportation Committee. I heard from a couple of our contacts in LR and this is what I found out: The sort of testimony we want to present needs to wait until after mid-April during the Interim. During the Regular Session the Committee will only hear…

Here is the new video up on Youtube of our monthly meeting for February 2023. I promise I will be better at editing, and presenting.

Our NWA GO public meetings are on the second Saturday of every month held at 2 PM (1400 hours military time). That means our next meeting is on February 11, 2023. The next meeting after that is March 11, 2023. NWA GO meetings are held at Ozark Regional Transit Authority Headquarters located at 2423 East…

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…

We are going to have a series of public meetings in 2023 on the second Saturday of the month. In January we will meet on Saturday January 14th, 2023 at 2 PM. We will meet at the Ozark Regional Transit building located at 2423 E Robinson Rd., Springdale, AR 72764. The agenda for the meeting…

Happy New Year everyone. I want to start by setting out some goals for the next year. Then some strategies for reaching our goals. Followed by some specific actions we will take. These are time tested and will work if you work it. Realistically the political landscape is not friendly to our mission of putting…

Tonight’s Washington County Quorum Court Meeting was a landmark, because the Court voted to use CARES money to build an addition to the Washington County Jail. CARES money is supposed to go to poor people to help them pay rent and buy food during the COVID pandemic. It is not supposed to go to building…
