Description

Many cities have bus or rail routes designed to serve suburban commute trips. Yet, the pandemic, Black Lives Matter movement and the transit fiscal cliff all have magnified the need to serve local trips, people who work service jobs and those who can’t afford premium fares. Hear from locations that are restructuring service away from the 9-to-5, white collar commute toward a more widely useful and inclusive system. They’ve asked, “Who is transit for? And for what trips?” They’ve found opportunities in existing infrastructure, learned from community engagement, and adjusted their processes for everything from decision-making and coordinating across agencies to delivering projects. Get on board!
