I'm sorry about any confusion resulting from my e-mail earlier today with a reference to a meeting tonight. <br> One topic to discuss with Mr McAllister is the Connect 09 Plan for PAT now the subject of a series of community meetings. What might the Connect 09 plan mean for PAT? What changes in the system structure are likely to be considered? What can ACTC contribute?<br> Another topic is a possible light rail line in the East Corridor. The final resolution approved by the ACTC at our Executive committtee meeting July 2 states: "Resolved, that the ACTC recommmends to the Port Authority and government funding and approval agencies sources, that the next major capital project in public transportation in this region be rapid transit in the East Corridor from downtown Pittsburgh through Oakland." <br> What else would you like to discuss with Mr. McAllister?
