I think getting the LRT built was a great lighting rod of a mission to attract dedicated people outside of transit fans to it and give TriTAG a purpose for being. We accomplished that mission and while there still seems like there is more to do, and I would like to get involved again, I don't see as large of a big-ticket item to attract those outside of fellow transit nerds and students. I, personally would have a hard time selling LRT in Cambridge, not being from Cambridge, Cambridge city council being hostile to parts of it, and that horizon for funding is over 6 years away. What would a new organization look like? A rider's organization fighting for better fares and service coverage? Fighting for better land-use? Density? Bike lanes? CycleWR already has that covered. Who knows.
I think pushing for better bike lanes is probably worthy. I don't know how active CycleWR is doing these days...
The problem is that the next step of LRT is controversial that I don't even support it in it's current form...
We're in some right shit here folks.
