âImmediate action needs to be taken to address the public transportation industryâs dire financial situation so that we can continue to serve essential employees every day and can help with the nationâs economic recovery. The industryâs very survival is at stake.â
â APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas
âWithout at least $32 billion in emergency funding for the industry, TARTA will be forced to consider service reductions and layoffs as well as halting technology and infrastructure investments as austerity measures.â
âAt no other time than during the COVID-19 pandemic has it been more apparent that public transit is a critical component to thriving communities. We have been honored to continue to transport 3,000 customers daily to essential destinations including work, medical services, pharmacies and grocery stores. Our front-line staff have been steadfast and have worked diligently to keep our community moving during this most challenging time.â
– TARTA CEO Kimberly Dunham.
