CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| If Transit Alliance is a superhero, the TCLA is our superpower. It gives attendees first-hand access to resource and information critical to forming realistic opinions to become resident experts on transportation options in the region. Educating residents about how road, infrastructure, and transit projects are selected and funding is paramount if we are to successfully move forward with a plan to intentionally address our mobility needs. Often, people don't know what they don't know. The TCLA is square one: understand the issue holistically. Then, move toward agreeing upon a solution that will work for our commuities. |
