Episode 4: The Politics of Transit
Funding for transit requires more than fares and local contributions. Amy Jordan sits down with Noelle Pinkard, HRT's Organizational Advancement Officer, to discuss all the ways transit agencies develop relationships with elected officials to secure funding that fills the gaps needed in transit. Plus, hear a bit about the phenomenon called the 'Transit Death Spiral' - which most transit agencies are facing now that Covid-19 emergency funding is ending.
