Advocates and Leaders Discuss Transit’s Role in Economic Recovery
Mile High Connects and Denver Streets Partnership hosted Transit is the Future: Denver Transit Justice Forum, a panel discussion with elected officials and area leaders on the importance of public transit as a critical piece in reconstructing a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable economy.
Framing the conversation, Downtown Denver Partnership President and CEO Tami Door stated that “A successful city is a resilient city, and transit is at the very center of that.”
Debra Johnson, new General Manager and CEO of RTD, shared that “Transit has been largely underfunded across the country for decades. The transit problems we’re experiencing aren’t indigenous to Denver.”
Attendees also heard from Grace Rink, Executive Director of the Denver Office of Climate Action Sustainability and Resiliency; Shoshana Lew, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, Boulder County Commissioner and Air Quality Control Commissioner Elise Jones, Denver Resident and NAACP state conference member Gina Jones, and Grishma Pradhan, Legislative Counsel, Office of Sen. Michael Bennet.
