On December 13, our popular virtual event series Forum Friday focused on how Wisconsin will fund its transportation system in the years to come amid new challenges including inflation and the adoption of electric vehicles.
We began with a presentation on the findings from our recently released Forum report examining those challenges in depth – and comparing options for how state transportation revenues could be sustainably aligned with transportation spending needs.
Policymakers will face hard choices to accomplish this, and our guest panel will share their insights on how best to do so. Our Forum Friday panelists will include:
Julie Esch Interim Managing Director
Milwaukee County
Transit System
Mark Gottlieb Former Secretary
Wisconsin Department of Transportation
Steve Baas Executive Director Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association
Tracy Johnson President & CEO
Commercial Association of REALTORS Wisconsin
During Forum Fridays, we discuss a timely research topic and invite notable guests and Forum members to join the conversation. We hope this can be another way to keep you informed and connected on our state’s most pressing public policy issues. Stay tuned for more Forum Friday events in the near future!
