SUMMARY:Responding to Policy Changes and Preparing for Reauthorization
DESCRIPTION: \nThe recording of the webinar is posted above. You can see the slides referenced in the webinar here. \nWebinar Overview and Participants: \nAdvocates for pedestrian\, bicycle\, and transit programs have been responding to dramatic policy shifts at the US Department of Transportation this year. The Trump administration has changed regulations and executive orders\, reduced agency staffing levels\, terminated grant programs\, and shifted funding priorities. \nThe American Public Transportation Association\, Transportation for America\, and America Walks have been educating officials at all levels of government about existing programs. They are also helping shape the debate in Congress as it considers reauthorizing the five-year federal transportation law\, which expires in September 2026. \nIn this webinar\, leaders from the three organizations will share their concerns\, strategies\, and hopes regarding federal transportation policies. \nRegister Now \nPanelists: \nWard W. McCarragher \n \nWard McCarragher manages APTA’s lobbying efforts on federal legislative issues that affect the public transit and passenger rail industry on Capitol Hill. In that capacity\, he oversees industry efforts on the federal budget\, the annual appropriations process\, multi-year surface transportation authorization bills\, and security\, tax\, energy and environmental legislation and measures that affect public transit\, commuter\, and intercity passenger rail service\, including high-speed rail. \nBefore joining APTA in 2018\, McCarragher served as Chief Counsel for the U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for 20 years. In this role\, he was directly involved in negotiating\, drafting\, and supporting each of the public transit and passenger rail titles of surface transportation authorization legislation\, from the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA 21) to the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act). \nBeth Osborne   \nBeth Osborne is the Interim President and CEO of Smart Growth America. She was previously at the U.S. Department of Transportation\, where she served as the Acting Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy and the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy beginning in 2009. \nAt USDOT\, Beth managed the TIGER Discretionary Grant program\, the secretary’s livability initiative\, the development of the Obama administration’s surface transportation authorization proposal\, and the implementation of MAP-21. Before joining USDOT\, Beth worked for Sen. Tom Carper (DE) as an advisor for transportation\, trade\, and labor policy\, as the policy director for Smart Growth America and as legislative director for environmental policy at the Southern Governors’ Association. She began her career in Washington\, DC in the House of Representatives working as a legislative assistant for Rep. Ron Klink (PA-04) and as legislative director for Rep. Brian Baird (WA-03). \nMike McGinn   \n \nMike McGinn got his start in local politics as a neighborhood activist pushing for walkability. From there he founded a non-profit focused on sustainable and equitable growth\, and then became mayor of Seattle. Just before joining America Walks\, Mike worked to help Feet First\, Washington State’s walking advocacy organization\, expand their sphere of influence across Washington state. He has worked on numerous public education\, legislative\, ballot measures and election campaigns – which has given him an abiding faith in the power of organizing and volunteers to create change. He is delighted that his role at America Walks allows him to work with so many community leaders and champions across the country.
