Re-Imagined:
Why Ride a Bus or a Train Instead of a
Plane?
December 3, 2025 7:00 PM
CT
This webinar will offer insights to
the need to expand and fully fund public transit as a means to improve
our environment as well as get all people to all of the places they
need to go both safely and in a timely manner. Good public transit is
a lifeline to jobs, healthcare, travel, community solidarity and
cohesiveness as well as a key to public safety and prosperity. A
robust public transit helps to end racism and inequities that
contribute to a divided society.
