Don't Miss This Unique Chance to hear Arthur T. Leahy, Metro Chief Executive Officer as he reveals further details about the Public Private Partnerships in the development pipeline at LACMTA. One Multi-Billion Dollar project coming up is the I-405 Rail Tunnel and Vehicle Toll Road tender. Some are curious about the I-710 gap closure project and the community implications. There is further intrigue about the possibility of a Sales Tax Election in 2014 or 2016 to fund many of the unbuilt Urban Rail and Highway projects.
Join The Transit Coalition at a unique tell-all evening to learn about the future of Metro Public Private Partnership projects and the great progress that has been made. Arthur T. Leahy, Metro Chief Executive Officer will present a unique program you don't want to miss, as you will learn how the Metro PPP world is evolving and the steps to hold an election.
If you are in the transit, engineering, architectural or construction industry, this means you NEED to attend to get inside details. If you are a transit advocate, this will give you an idea about how progress is being made to create these projects.
