Letter to the editor: Transit data sorely needed

In the Oct. 3 opinion Lisa Weik wrote “Data-driven decisions must serve Washington County.” And so on Oct. 11, at the Gateway Corridor Commission meeting I asked Lisa Weik the cost of the Bus Rapid Transit line for the I-94 Corridor. She indicated the cost of the Gateway Corridor Bus Rapid Transit line development is $400 million. Therefore I asked her what and where are the cost/benefit studies to show the return in this extremely expansive investment. She told me there are no such studies. So this is not data driven.
