Next Sunday, April 13, will be the big Strawberry Workers support march
in Watsonville. The Santa Cruz County Labor Council and 
UTU Local 23 (the Bus Drivers Union) requested the Transit District
to donate some busses for transportation for the event. The UTU
volunteered to provide volunteer drivers.

Due to legal concerns the District decided to run the service itself
to accomodate the monstrous crowds expected. The Council and UTU met
with District staff to discuss how best to provide for these crowds.
There will be at least 5 busses leaving from the County Building on
Sunday morning to a location in Watsonville. They will be slightly 
staggered beginning around 8am. There may be more coaches,
this has not been finalized. 

These coaches will then do shuttle service between a remote parking
lot in Watsonville and downtown. They will return to Santa Cruz in
late afternoon.

These trips will not be free, the regular fare will be charged. 
The District insists on this for legal reasons. The regular fare
is $1 to board.

MORE INFORMATION
See http://www.cruzio.com/~dlyall/strawberry.html for a flyer on the
event. Phone numbers for information are there.
