COVID-19 Series: Restoring and Reimagining Transit Service in a Pandemic-Transformed World – Part 2

History has shown us that the public transportation community can use challenging times (terrorism, hurricanes, earthquakes, technological change) as an opportunity to adjust and build-back-better.   A high-energy, interactive discussion will cover questions such as long-term psychological aspects of COVID-19,  funding and financial options for public transportation, new opportunities available through innovation, and preparing an environment to endure the next pandemic.  Throughout, we will consider the overarching importance of social equity as America pursues strategies to ramp-up its economy and restore mobility in our communities.  We invite you to take part in a conversation on how public transportation will be part of these and other transformational trends to build-back-better a healthy and mobile society.
