Communicating Transit’s Value Through
its Economic Impact
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 8:30 AM - 10 AM - PAVILION
IV-VI, 2ND FLOOR
Public transportation plays a critical role in economic development and job creation, with
research showing a 5-to-1 economic return from long-term investment in transit. This session
explores how agencies can leverage transit’s impact on job creation, tax revenue generation
and support for the private sector and small businesses to communicate transit’s value and
garner broad support for local funding.
