In most U.S. cities, the future of public transportation succeeds or fails in the hands of voters. Despite broad public support for new transit investments, organized and well-financed opposition is flexing its muscle across the nation, using sophisticated and increasingly effective tactics to defeat pro-transit referenda.

Session Format: Presentations, Moderated Discussion, & Audience Q&A
