Share ideas for great summer excursions -- without a  gas-guzzling car -- during Metro Board Chair Pam O'Connor's next live chat, June 18

• Sixth internet chat will be at noon, Wednesday, June 18, at metro.net/chat

Summer's coming and gas prices are through the roof. Tell Metro Board Chair Pam O'Connor your favorite LA County summer excursion and explain how to get there via public transit.  And while you're at it, share your favorite mass transit tips with first-time transit users -- new riders who are trying to save money on gas. It's all for a great cause: Gas avoidance.

Chair O'Connor will also be available to discuss the potential half cent sales tax dedicated to Los Angeles County transit projects and other transportation issues on June 18. Talk to her noon to 1 p.m. or send in advance questions through metro.net/chat.
