The Annual Theodre W. Kheel Lecture on Transportation Policy

Should We “Blow Up” the MTA*?

(*“Cuomo Wants to ‘Blow Up’ the MTA after L Train Debacle,” New York Daily News, January 8, 2019)

Please join us at Roosevelt House for a very special evening on the future of transit governance in New York and the region, featuring an extraordinary panel: Hon. Corey Johnson, New York City Council Speaker; Carol Kellermann, former president, Citizens Budget Commission and former NYC Deputy Commissioner of Finance; and Veronica Vanterpool, MTA board member and former director, Tri-State Transportation Campaign. The Roosevelt House 2019 Kheel Fellow, Charles Komanoff, will serve as moderator.

The panel discussion is a signature event of the Theodore Kheel Fellowship in Transportation Policy at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College. The late Mr. Kheel was a major advocate for public transit and saw transportation as a civil rights issue.

This evening is made possible through the generosity of The Nurture Nature Foundation.
