Events and Conferences
Transit ballot measures continue to grow as a source of revenue for community investment, complementing other funding sources supporting transit investment. The experience of recent transit campaigns provides a wealth of knowledge and lessons-learned transferable to other elections. This year’s workshop explored the messages, strategies and tactics that make the difference in transit referenda as well as state and local legislative initiatives.
