An #APTAsustainabilityOPS24 fireside chat featured COMTO National Office CEO April Rai and U.S. Department of Transportation Deputy Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy Ann Shikany, moderated by Leslie Bienenfeld, Chair, APTA Transit Operations Planning and Scheduling Subcommittee; and Manager of Special Operations, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). They discussed a broad set of community goals addressed though public transportation. Transit’s connection to the Three Pillars of Sustainability (Environmental / Social / Economic) were discussed. The conversation highlighted access to opportunity; energy-efficient community design; vibrant, equitable neighborhoods; and universal access, each of which is a core outcome of transit service. Indeed, public transportation is a central strategy for achieving all of the above, and the work of sustainability planners, service planners, and transit schedulers is central to that mission.
