This article was scraped from Rochester Subway. This is a blog about Rochester history and urbanism has not been published since 2017. The current owners are now publishing link spam which made me want to preserve this history.. The original article was published June 04, 2013 and can be found here.
A few short weeks ago I told you about ROC Transit Day 2013 . The idea is simple... pedestrians make for a vibrant city. The more people Rochester has walking the streets instead of driving, the stronger our community will be; and the stronger our local economy will be. ROC Transit Day is a holiday from our cars. It's a day to celebrate local businesses. And it's a day to cast a symbolic vote for a stronger transit system...
Rochester's business community is quickly catching on. Over the past two weeks the ROC Transit Day map
has begun to fill up with restaurants, merchants, and businesses who understand why this effort is so important. From Downtown Rochester to Avon NY, businesses are stepping up and offering fantastic deals for anyone who rides the bus on June 20.
But with just under three weeks to go, we still see large areas of Rochester that aren't represented. So we need YOUR help...
