Join us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of three of COTA's most exciting facilities. This technical tour showcases the agency's recent investments in infrastructure, accessibility, and sustainable mobility, with COTA experts on board to answer your questions along the way. Our first stop is the newly renovated McKinley Ave facility and garage, where we'll explore the upgrades that are modernizing day-to-day operations and fleet maintenance. From there, we'll visit the state-of-the-art Mobility Assessment Center at Fields Ave, a best-in-class resource for evaluating paratransit eligibility and connecting customers with the right mobility options. We'll wrap up at COTA's newest Mobility Center at Rickenbacker, a community-centered facility featuring flexible public spaces and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Whether you're focused on facilities planning, zero-emission fleet transitions, or accessible service delivery, this tour offers real-world insights you won't find in a conference room.

Voter-approved initiatives are responsible for some of the nation's most transformative public transit projects, reimagining and redefining how communities will connect, grow and thrive for decades to come. This fireside chat will take us behind the scenes of how agencies across the country are delivering on projects their communities voted for—covering funding, innovation, project delivery methods, sustainability, workforce development, and community engagement. Whether someone's a transit leader, project manager, consultant, or emerging professional, the goal is to leave them with real insight on what it takes to get community buy in, current best practices to deliver projects on time and on budget, and how agencies communicate success throughout the project lifecycle.
Please note:
In the event of technical difficulties that prevent you from logging in or attending the livestream on the scheduled date, please don’t worry. The event will be recorded and shared with registered participants afterward.
