State funding for public transit has been frozen since 2010 with no adjustment for inflation. And taxing authorities to fund transit are not permissible under current state law. This has led to a decrease in reliability and cuts in service for transit service across the state. In Milwaukee, MCTS, one of the Midwest's largest transit agencies, and the largest transit agency in the country without its own funding source, is facing a fiscal crisis. Wisconsin transit advocates want to address transit funding and RTAs in the next legislative session. Come learn why transit matters and what needs to be done in the near and long term to give Wisconsin the public transit it needs.
