FTA held a webinar and a series or regional office hours to provide community-based organizations a better understanding of FTA’s programs, oversight, and technical assistance resources. The webinar provided organizations that support local public transportation initiatives, bicycling and pedestrian safety, and complete streets projects with a deeper understanding of federal resources. The regional office hours offered participants the chance to share their experiences and feedback with FTA staff and leaders.
