Snotrac Forum: The Future of Transit Funding in the Capitols
Channel: Snohomish County Transportation Coalition
Date: 03/08/2021

The June speaker forum of the Snohomish County Transportation Coalition (Snotrac) included Chris Rall, Outreach Director of Transportation for America, and Alex Hudson, Executive Director of Transportation Choices Coalition as guest speakers about the future funding opportunities for transit in Olympia and D.C.

Based in D.C., Transportation For America (T4A) is an advocacy organization made up of local, regional and state leaders who envision a transportation system that safely, affordably and conveniently connects people of all means and ability to jobs, services, and opportunity through multiple modes of travel. T4A has been the leading voice on progressive federal transportation funding for the last decade.

Founded in 1993, Transportation Choices Coalition (TCC) is a policy and advocacy nonprofit dedicated to making transportation accessible to all in Washington State. TCC passes policies that support more transit, bike, and pedestrian improvements at the state, regional, and local levels.

With rampant discussions about renewal of the federal surface transportation bill, a new federal infrastructure bill, and a potential special session for a state transportation bill, there was plenty to learn from Alex and Chris.
