Equity in Infrastructure Project (EIP) reposted this
This morning, American Public Transportation Association President and CEO Paul Skoutelas welcomed APTA members to town for the association's 2024 Legislative Advocacy Fly-In. APTA business members, transit agency CEOs, and transit board members will spend the day on Capitol Hill meeting directly with more than 75 Members of Congress and staff, stressing the urgent need to fully fund public transportation as authorized in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Special thanks to Dabney Hegg, Majority Clerk, THUD Appropriations Subcommittee, Senate Committee on Appropriations and Avery Pierson, Majority Professional Staff Member, THUD Appropriations Subcommittee, House Committee on Appropriations, for taking time this morning to further dive into the FY25 THUD Appropriations process with fly-in participants. #PublicTransitImpact
