The CAP kids do the thankless jobs at Oshkosh. Always courteous (they were real appreciative when we told them they were free to use our water/gatorade jubs on the flight line).

I know the blue fringe is a confusion factor on trams, has been for years. Any EAA staffers on here want to bring this up at next meeting ?

A change I have suggested before is to put on the tram stop signs where the tram is going. That would obviate the need to worry what color the tram is. The trams all stop in discrete locations for where they are going.
Something like:
BOARD HERE FOR:
Exhibit Buildings
Transfer to Bus Tower
Forums
Warbirds
North 40
and then on the other side of the street:
BOARD HERE FOR
Vintage
Ultralights
Transfer to Seaplane Base
I don't know why EAA doesn't have just one main tram route, all the way from the North 40 to past the ultralights. It would eliminate the transfer at the Hangar Cafe and the waiting at the control tower, would be less confusing for attendees, and would require fewer volunteers since there wouldn't need to be volunteers trying to direct traffic at those locations. I would also suggest using trams instead of school busses to get to the museum and Pioneer Airport.
There's no change at the Tower stop anymore. They did away with that last year (last year was really messed up because the Thunderbirds mandated displacing the tram routes to the perimeter road where it passes through the Vintage area).
The school buses are used when there isn't the capacity (either physically or with volunteer coverage) to operate the trams. Adding bus coverage is just a matter of $$$.
As one of the initial complainers of the golf cart, scooter ,vehicles issue last year I just wanted to congratulate the staff on a job well done this year. I had no complaints or issues at all this year.Well done.
