What you'll learn.
Take a look at what we'll cover in this power-packed live discussion:
Where reauthorization actually stands
The law behind most federal transit funding expires September 30, and a full replacement won't be ready in time. Jason will lay out what's really likely to happen next and what the midterms mean for the bigger fight in 2027.
The inside read on what's happening in Washington
The real story is rarely in the headlines. We'll share what's actually moving behind closed doors and what it signals for agencies like yours in the months ahead.
All the funding opportunities worth your attention
There's real money opening up, including a $610 million round for buses and low-emission projects closing September 21. We’ll cover what's available, who it's really for, and where it's worth your team's time.
