Who's putting these stickers out and where can we get them?
I take it there are alot of Chestnut Hiller's watching the 15 opening and wondering why they got the short end of the stick as the last of the non-refurbed PCC's were given away like candy at X-mas.

Subject: [Philly_Traction] Where's The Trolley? on Sep. 1
The White Paper working group has been very busy over the summer, coming up with ways of getting the message out, about Philadelphia's trolleys. In addition to the White Paper itself, there's a tri-fold brochure being distributed, as well as a green oval sticker.
We're calling the effort "Where's The Trolley?", the simple idea being that Philadelphians have gotten used to waiting a long time for a Route 15, 23, or 56 but thirteen years is ridiculous... SEPTA promised, back in 1992, that running diesel buses on these routes was just temporary, and Philadelphians intend to hold them to their promise.
So far, many schedule racks on Route 23 buses have been stuffed with "Where's The Trolley?" brochures, bus stops adorned with green "Where's the Trolley?" oval stickers, and the beginnings of a door-to-door campaign to distribute brochures is under way also.
The rumored Route 15 start-up ceremony tentatively scheduled for September 1 might be a great place for us to get the word out.
So... Calling for volunteers... Is anyone on this list interested in meeting in front of the Zoo on Sept. 1, and handing out "Where's The Trolley?" brochures? The more of these we can distribute, the better. Contact me if interested,
Mike Sz.
