Barnes toured the MTU facility on La Crosse’s south side Thursday morning.
While there, the Lieutenant Governor discussed the support for expanding mass transportation in the state budget.
Barnes says the effort is about expanding opportunities across the state.
“You have people who don’t even want to deal with the hassle of owning a car. Two, you have people where vehicles are necessarily accessible or affordable. That is, that is where we have to fill in the gap,” said Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes.
