Transportation is vital. It connects people to jobs, healthcare, the grocery store, school, houses of worship and more. For people who aren't able to drive, can't afford to drive or do not want to drive, getting from point A to point B can be expensive, burdensome - even impossible. On December 3rd, transit users, community advocates and allies from around Wisconsin will gather in Milwaukee to explore the impact of transportation on people in our state and how we can advocate for change.
9 am: Registration & light breakfast
9:30 am: Listening Session
10:30 am: Plenary Session: Story Sharing - Getting Wisconsin's Transportation Priorities Straight with story-sharing and speakers including national Sierra Club President Aaron Mair and US Secretary of Transportation Anthony Fox (invited).
12 noon: Lunch
1:00 - 3:00 pm: Breakout Sessions
3:00 - 4:00 pm: Round Table Discussion
4:00 - 5:00 pm: Social Hour with food & fellowship
Join us for the full day or just for the plenary!

Join us in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a statewide conversation about the transportation system and its impact on equity and access around our state!
Transportation is vital; it connects people to jobs, healthcare, grocery stores and more. For people who cannot drive, do not want to drive or cannot afford to drive, however, getting from point A to point B can be expensive and burdensome. If we want to best serve everyone throughout Wisconsin, we need to get our transportation priorities straight.
State leaders are debating the future of transportation funding in Wisconsin. Over the last fifteen years, our spending priorities have become increasingly focused on costly highway expansion programs, which has meant greater reliance on borrowing and less funding for maintenance of existing infrastructure and for local priorities – from pothole and bridge repair to investment in public transit that connects people to jobs and services.
EXCITING UPDATES:
Department of Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx invited!
