Protecting Tri-State Transportation

Wednesday

Aug 5, 2020

2-3:30pm

Registration is no longer available for this event.

At a time when the region faces a deep recession and the future viability of our transportation systems is at risk, the agencies that keep people moving need support from the federal government. Our panelists support critical infrastructure that allows the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut metropolitan region to function and prosper. Our diverse economy and global competitiveness depend on the largest and most talented workforce in the world.

Hear from leaders from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, New Jersey Transit, New Jersey Department of Transportation, Connecticut Department of Transportation, and New York City Department of Transportation on what they need to keep the region and nation moving forward.
