Preparing for Threats to Federal Transit Funding
Event Sponsors
President Trump’s budget blueprint for 2018 eliminates the program that would fund the Metro Blue Line Extension and Metro Orange Line Bus Rapid Transit projects and others like it around the country. This would leave a tremendous hole in the region’s transit plans, and jeopardize future lines.
Next Wednesday, March 22 come to "Preparing for Threats to Federal Transit Funding" to hear from Transportation for America Director Adrea Turner and Smart Growth America President Geoffrey Anderson about the prospects for this proposal becoming a reality and what it may portend for future budgets. Are cuts to existing transit service next?
Featured Speakers:
- Adrea Turner | Director of Transportation for America
- Geoff Anderson | President of Smart Growth America
- Commissioner Jim McDonough | Ramsey County
