New ideas on the enhancement and sustainability of America’s public transportation resources.
Date: May 18, 2010
Time: 8:00am – 3:00pm
Location: The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston
Keynote Speakers:
U.S. Congressman John W Oliver
U.S. Department of Transportation Under Secretary for Policy Roy W. Kienitz
U.S. Federal Transit Administrator Peter M. Rogoff
In addition to business and government leaders and transportation experts, the Summit will feature a rare panel discussion with General Managers of five of the largest transit systems in the nation - Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, and Washington, DC.
America’s network of transit systems is one of our most effective economic engines as well as a key player in the effort to reduce emissions that cause greenhouse gases. Yet many of these systems, particularly those in our largest cities, are financially and physically distressed. Solutions to the financing and management of metropolitan transit issues are too often caught in the crossfire of local control and parochial politics, leaving little consideration for the innovative, broadly applied solutions that could enhance and sustain these resources throughout the country.
The National Transit Summit brings together practitioners and policymakers, environmentalists and industry leaders to exchange ideas and forge a practical agenda for improving our transit systems and financing their sustainability to meet society’s needs now and for the future.
