APTA President and CEO Paul Skoutelas released the following statement: “Today marks a historic day in American infrastructure with the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) signing a Full Funding Grant Agreement that authorizes the agency to invest nearly $6.9 billion – the largest grant in FTA history – in the Hudson River Project. “This landmark project underscores the Administration’s commitment to revitalizing and modernizing American infrastructure under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). It will enhance passenger rail travel for millions, support economic vitality, and demonstrate the nation’s capacity for large-scale, collaborative achievements. “Historic investments under the BIL are vital for America’s future strength and prosperity. Strong public transit and passenger rail grows the economy by connecting people to jobs, education, healthcare, businesses, and opportunities. Investing fully in public transportation will benefit all Americans.”

"This in-depth exchange with top transportation officials from London and Paris was a timely exposure to innovative approaches to transit governance, infrastructure development, and service delivery," said APTA Chair Michele Wong Krause.” "The study mission provided us unique insights into what it takes to develop high-performing public transportation networks that are future-proofed to changes in ridership trends, funding, and governance,” said American Public Transportation Association President and CEO Paul Skoutelas. “We witnessed an exceptional commitment to provide top-quality customer service, with reliability, frequency, and attractiveness at the heart of decision-making." https://lnkd.in/eDxj5j97 #APTAEurope24

American Public Transportation Association President and CEO Paul Skoutelas took part in the "Driving Change into the Future: Attracting and Retaining Talent in Public Transit" session, where panelists pressed the need to attract talent from different backgrounds and demographics to prepare the industry for the future. Discussions with the panel were "a stark reminder that workforce shortages are a global issue, the labor market has changed dramatically since the pandemic, and that the transit industry needs to and is adapting," Skoutelas said. https://lnkd.in/eih_CMgT

APTA strongly encourages you to contact your Members of Congress and urge them to honor the promise of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law by fully funding public transit and passenger rail in the FY 2025 THUD Appropriations bill. The House THUD Appropriations bill significantly cuts public transit and passenger rail funding, as authorized by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Specifically, the THUD Appropriations bill, together with the IIJA’s advance appropriations, provides a total of $19.6 billion for public transit in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, a cut of $1.3 billion (-6.2 percent) from the FY 2024 enacted level. This total funding is $2.4 billion (-10.8 percent) less than the amount authorized in the IIJA. In addition, the House THUD Appropriations bill and IIJA provide $16.0 billion for passenger and freight rail in FY 2025, a cut of $262 million (-1.6 percent) from the FY 2024 enacted level. This total funding is $4.6 billion (-22.4 percent) less than the amount authorized in the IIJA. The bill cuts the General Fund appropriation for Amtrak by $303 million (-12.5 percent), while increasing funding for Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Grants by $99.6 million (50.0 percent) from the FY 2024 enacted levels. The bill also includes several troubling policy riders, such as prohibiting actions on equity action plans and greenhouse gas emissions measures. Take action now > https://lnkd.in/efUP8yiJ

Last week, UTA was honored to host the 2024 Railway Engineering Education Symposium (REES). REES provides an opportunity for members of the railway industry to express their needs directly to educators specializing in the transit engineering field. This dialogue has a tangible effect on what’s taught in the classroom, better preparing the engineers of tomorrow for a future career in the railroad industry. Special thanks to our agency colleagues and industry partners for taking part in the event: American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA), American Public Transportation Association, Chicago Transit Authority, Morgan State University #REES2024 #RailwayEngineering
