Advocating for and Creating Effective Public Transit

Having greater access to transit is vital for the functioning of safe, equitable, and environmentally friendly cities. But what makes for effective transit? How do you advocate for it? And how can cities utilize buses to create fast, frequent and reliable service?

Join the Maryland Department of Planning and the Smart Growth Network as Christof Spieler, author of Trains, Buses, People, and Steven Higashide, author of Better Buses, Better Cities, explain how to make better use of our current transit systems in clear ways for decision-makers, philanthropists, activists, and public agency leaders. Participants of the live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits.
