Subject: FTA Seeks Stakeholder Input on the Future of Public Transportation Research and Innovation

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is gathering input on research and innovation through Exploring the Future of Public Transportation Research: A National Online Dialogue<https://exploringfuturetransit.ideascale.com/c/landing>. This important virtual conversation aims to enhance policies and practices that will make public transit safer, cleaner, and greener as well as more resilient, inclusive, and equitable.   Your input will enrich the dialogue and help define our research goals over the next five years.

Through the dialogue, FTA will seek input on ways to improve public transit for everyone, including people with disabilities. Please encourage your members to join the conversation and lend their insights and experiences in the following areas:


  *   Safety
  *   Equity

  *   Climate
  *   Economic Growth
  *   Connecting Communities

Here is a link to the website for the dialogue<https://exploringfuturetransit.ideascale.com/c/landing>

Get started by visiting the dialogue now through January 5, 2024. Simply log in, register, submit your ideas, or comment, and vote on ideas submitted by others.

We hope you'll participate and spread the word about this important opportunity to advance public transit and improve access to jobs for people with disabilities. Thanks for considering, and we look forward to hearing from you!
