Citizens League transportation advancement
As work on the Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) continues through the expansion of MnPASS and the establishment of a more rapid bus transit option along I-35W and Cedar Avenue, it is important to note the other elements of the UPA and the larger transportation policy agenda of the Citizens League as we form a transportation "advancement group."
In addition to pushing for more transparent pricing of solo driving linked to transit improvements, the Citizens League also remains involved in the eWorkplace Initiative which is also part of the UPA.
In addition to the initiatives spurred by the $190 million in federal and state money that funded the UPA, the Citizens League also was involved in pushing for the Value Capture study at the University of Minnesota, which examines ways that beneficiaries of transportation investments could pay more directly for the benefits received.
The Citizens League transportation advancement group will monitor these and other developments and look for opportunities to further advance the Citizens League transportation policy agenda.
