From Southeast Alaska to Fairbanks and beyond, twelve public transportation systems in Alaska provide more than 7 million passenger trips per year. The "Going is Good" campaign is designed to tell the story of those riders. Newspaper and radio spots feature testimonials of public transportation users talking about why they ride the bus and how it impacts their lives.
According to AMC Executive Director, David Levy, "The objectives of the campaign are to educate the non-riding majority, particularly decision makers, about the benefits which public transportation delivers to individuals and the community as a whole, and to build an awareness of the transit services available, so that when someone needs or desires to try transit, they will know where to turn."
