WEBINAR – TrADE Talk: Transportation Alternative Trends and Transformative Impact
This webinar explores RTC’s recently released TrADE report, which serves as an important tool for states, regions and active transportation professionals to understand spending patterns and strengthen the program, thus improving the efficiency and impact of investments made. We hear from Kevin Vettraino, Planning Director of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) about how they are innovatively using their state’s TA program funds to invest in large-scale connectivity projects. You will also learn how the current federal landscape is influencing decisions about the future implementation of the program and actions you can take to ensure this funding is available for generations to come.
