Transportation on Tap: The Transportation Session

TLC's 2015 Transportation on Tap happy hour event series kicks off on Tuesday, April 7! We invite you to Republic to enjoy light appetizers on us and to talk bike, walk, bus, and rail with other TLC members and friends.

This month we'll dig into policy and politics with a focus on the Transportation Session.

At this point, Minnesota's Governor, Senate, and House all have said transportation funding is a priority this legislative session. But what does that really mean for transit, bicycling, and walking? How do we get beyond metro vs. Greater MN rhetoric for a statewide solution? What needs to happen at the State Capitol and on the ground before a final deal is reached?

Bring your questions for another lively happy-hour conversation with our featured panel:

• Katie Hatt, Transportation & Public Policy Consultant
• Vayong Moua, Senior Advocacy & Health Equity Principal, Center for Prevention, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Minnesota
• Bethany Winkels, Field Director, Move MN
• Dave Van Hattum (moderator), Advocacy Director, Transit for Livable Communities

All are welcome but RSVPs are much appreciated.

Our event location is conveniently served by the METRO Green Line (West Bank Station) and many Metro Transit bus routes. Bike parking is available near the front entrance.
