Hosted by Transportation for America
Electric vehicles are critical to reducing emissions from the transportation sector, the largest source of U.S. emissions—but they’re not enough. Expanding public transportation is necessary to help give Americans more transportation options than just driving and building an equitable economy post-COVID-19.
In honor of The Leader's Summit on Climate hosted by the Biden Administration, this webinar will unpack hurdles to a transformational investment in public transit embedded in existing federal transportation policy—notably the "handshake deal" limiting public transit to only 20 percent of the transportation budget. Our speakers will break down the consequences of this policy and help chart a path forward.
