From the last meeting, one of the first things that was suggested to do was to get a mission statement for the organization, which is here:
CbusTransit is an advocacy group whose mission is to support and promote the development of a world-class public transit system in Columbus in order to increase the accessibility and mobility throughout the Central Ohio region.
The second think which you may notice was that CbusRail should be changed in order to increase the scope of the organization, and to not leave out rapidly growing forms of transportation such as BRT.
You can now reach the site by either going to http://www.cbustransit.com or http://www.cbusrail.com

Hey cbus transit - I've been enjoying your blog. I was also at the meetup last month, and was aware that there might be some overlap in nomenclature if cbus rail turned into cbus transit. I would encourage you to come to the next meetup and we can talk!
What I took away from the cbus rail meetup (and Josh, please correct me if you have a different view..) was a strong consensus that there needs to be an advocacy or coalition group in Columbus making the case for improved public transit. Beyond that, I don't think much has been established or set in stone - there is still work to be done, and hopefully at the next meeting we will hear from some new voices!

Not only am I bumping this, but I'm sorry I didnt respond earlier cbustransit, I missed your post some how. I think there were 6-8 at the last meeting. This one is hopefully going to be easier to get to for the attendees. I think this meeting will focus more on trying to come up with a focus for the group, deciding the structure and coming up with new ideas for how to really get the ball rolling
