The red trolleys that shuttle between Monmouth and Independence resemble the trolley from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” so that gave Roxanne Beltz an idea.

The Monmouth city councilor thought it would be fun to celebrate children’s TV host Fred Rogers and promote the trolley at the same time.  City and school officials rode the trolleys in cardigan sweaters (in homage to Mister Rogers) March 20 for what would have been Rogers’ 96th birthday. 

“It gives people a fun reason to ride the trolley,” Jewell said. “Maybe if they haven’t tried public transit yet, it’s a good opportunity to do it.”
