The Milford Public Library is hosting a virtual program with long-time commuter advocate and newspaper commentator, Jim Cameron, who will discuss the future of Connecticut’s transportation.
Will riders ever return to commuter rail? Who will pay to keep the trains running when federal money is gone? Where will money be found to repair our highways? How will new residential and workplace trends affect Connecticut’s economy? Cameron explores these questions in a workshop with plenty of time to hear participants’ ideas and answer their questions.
Cameron has been called “the transportation guru,” having spent over 25 years working and reporting on the issue. A former NBC News anchor, Cameron was a recipient of the George Foster Peabody Award. A Connecticut resident for over 30 years, he served 19 years on the Metro-North Commuter Council. He also authors a weekly newspaper column, “Talking Transportation” which runs in the CT Mirror and other online news sites. Cameron is also author of the book Off the Record: Confessions of a Media Consultant.
The talk takes place virtually on Thursday, April 13 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Registration is required. The Zoom link to the event is https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIuf-uqrjIvE9Ssf8pg0HWMFX5-eeaew0J1.
