Transit Tuesday: State Policy / Transportation Riders United

TRU Transit Tuesdays

Location

Virtual Zoom Meeting
US
Tuesday, November 14, 2023 - 6:30pm
 

 On Tuesday, November 14, we’ll host a virtual event focused on state transit policy.

A significant amount of the funding for transit and rules surrounding transit come from State of Michigan decisions. The current Michigan legislature has been incredibly productive in many areas, but less so transit.

Get a first look at TRU’s upcoming Transit Action Agenda for Michigan and hear from state leaders about their goals and plans to start making Michigan into a leader on transit, rail, and more. Speakers will include:

  • Michigan’s Chief Infrastructure Officer Zach Kolodin on the Governor’s efforts to maximize federal funding, including for rail and transit
  • Michigan House Transportation Appropriations Chairman Ranjeev Puri on incorporating transit into state budget priorities
  • Joshua Winslow, staff for State Representative Jason Morgan on their bill to boost local bus operating funds

You won’t want to miss it!

Note – the Zoom link will be sent out the day before to everyone who registers.
