2022 Election Outcomes: Public Transportation Impacts at the Federal, State, and Local Levels

The November 8 elections will have significant implications for public transportation. The makeup of the United States House of Representatives and Senate, and which party will be in the majority, will be determined by the elections. The outcome will directly affect the public transportation agenda in the critical years ahead. At the local level, voters will decide several high-profile transit ballot measures and the community investments they will bring. Speakers will provide up-to-the minute reports on outcomes, campaign messages, and how the public transportation stakeholders can position themselves going forward
