-Summary:
Metropolitan regions are the economic engines of our nation and public transit is the machinery that enables the largest metropolitan areas to function, compete effectively for employers and labor, and foster innovation. The ability of transit organizations to respond to changing and expanding demands varies across the industry and is shaped to a large extent by individual governance and organizational structures. This seminar brings together transportation experts, transit operators, and public officials to discuss:
- Regional transit governance challenges and how they affect performance outcomes, such as system integration, investment decisions, and customer orientation.
- Best practices that shape development and growth in several urban areas.
This event will be held in conjunction with the newly released Eno/Transit Center report, Getting to the Route of It: The Role of Governance in Regional Transit, and Seamless Transit, SPUR's most recent transportation policy report. This event is made possible by a grant from TransitCenter.
