Public transit is positioned to be a prime solution through a combination of strategies, including electrification, better land use, mode shift, and adoption of sustainable operating practices and climate action plans. Panelists will discuss strategies they have implemented, how they are measuring results and outcomes, and how your participation in FTA’s Sustainable Transit for a Healthy Planet Challenge can help make a difference.
