Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) conducted a mobile Town Hall meeting in El Paso, TX, on two Sun Metro routes Feb. 7 to meet with constituents who might not otherwise be able to attend regular monthly meetings.

O’Rourke boarded a full bus at Sun Metro’s Downtown Transfer Center and took questions from the passengers, returning to the center on board a different route. The congressman, along with Sun Metro staff, spoke with constituents about a planned transfer center that will be part of a 30-acre Transit-Oriented Development. The future development, which received a $10.3 million federal Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant, will feature a modern, seven-acre transportation hub with a variety of passenger amenities. In addition, passenger raised such topics as water conservation, drug laws, healthcare, military funding, and veterans affairs.

This is the second mobile town hall Sun Metro has hosted with O’Rourke.
