And the Beat Goes On... #Transportation #WomeninLeadership

APTA members are in Washington, D.C. this week meeting with members of Congress, highlighting the importance of public transportation investment to American jobs and a thriving economy. 77% of federal funding for public transit flows to America’s businesses – supporting local economies and a wide range of jobs. In communities of all sizes across all 50 states, workers in good-paying jobs manufacture parts, assemble buses and trains, and develop the technology our transit systems and their customers count on. Federal funding is essential to maintain these American jobs and companies that support retailers, restaurants, and an improved quality of life. Investing in transit is investing in American jobs.?#PublicTransitImpact
