Fundraising & Local Match

Raising money for transit operations is always a challenge. The rules and regulations vary from state to state in terms of financial assistance available to the transit systems. There are, however, numerous ways of generating operating capital. This seminar will focus on investigating your organization's situation and brainstorming funding options based on the skills, abilities and knowledge of you and your staff. This session will be led by two experienced professionals who will walk you through a variety of operational and fundraising options to help you solve these challenges.
