The Transportation Choices Coalition will be hosting a Transit Talk on what Free Transit could mean for our community, and the obstacles to making this decision. The Transit Talk will be held on September 1st at 3p, on Zoom, and is free to ‘attend.’
The Transportation Choices Coalition sees accessible, equitable transit as a part of a just recovery, and transit for all riders as a priority for the health of our community and our planet. The Sep 1st Transit Talk will consider what role fare charges play beyond revenue, and the unseen costs of fare collection. Stable revenue streams are required to maintain transit agencies, but can this be found without burdening riders? And how do we encourage more riders while prioritizing equity.
This panel discussion will feature Isaac Joy, President of King County Equity Now; Katie Wilson, General Secretary of the Transit Riders Union and other experts in this field. The Transit Talk will be moderated by Hester Serebrin, Director of Policy & Programs for Transportation Choices Coalition.
