A widely accessible, reliable and safe public transportation system is the backbone of a livable city. To meet the changing needs of its population and stimulate economic opportunity across the Commonwealth, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation needs to do more than just resuscitate its existing system; it needs to invest in a public transportation system for the 21st century. But where is the money going to come from?
Former Massachusetts Transportation Secretary Aloisi will discuss innovative solutions for funding Boston's public transit system. These solutions can create sustainable financing for the MBTA while paying enormous environmental dividends.
Come hear Mr. Aloisi’s ideas and weigh in with your own questions and thoughts on how to finance our public transit system for the future in this open community forum.
