Infrastructure Task Force: Conversation with Congressman Mark DeSaulnier
We hope you will join us for a multi-faceted conversation on infrastructure challenges and solutions with Congressman Mark DeSaulnier. Congressman DeSaulnier, who serves on the House Committee for Transportation and Infrastructure, is passionate about big solutions to the soul-crushing commutes faced by East Bay workers. He has spoken out in favor of a second Bay crossing and the expansion of passenger rail through the Altamont Corridor, among other significant investments.
We also plan to discuss how new leadership in the federal government may change the direction of transportation investments at a time when transit agencies across the country are struggling with low ridership and extreme financial pressure.
After hearing some opening remarks from the Congressman, we will open the webinar to a moderated Q&A led by the President & CEO of the East Bay Leadership Council, Kristin Connelly.
