TransForm TransForum: Is a ballot initiative the right way to protect state transit funds?
“State funds for public transportation have been illegally grabbed for California’s General Fund repeatedly over the years. Now, a proposed state-wide ballot initiative would seek permanent protection of these funds. But given how bad California’s budget mess is, is this the best approach?
Learn about the initiative and be part of a lively discussion that will include a presentation by staff from two of the groups leading the initiative: Josh Shaw, Executive Director of the California Transit Association, and Amy O’Gorman, Director of Regional Public Affairs from the League of California Cities. TransForm has yet decide our position on the initiative.
The TransForum will include time for networking over snacks and drinks.”
