SUMMARY:Transit Priority: Improving Public Transit Through Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeWednesday\, December 3 (12-1 p.m.) \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationVirtual \n\n\n\n\n\nAn Innovative Cities Lecture\n\n\n\nThe Milwaukee Priority One Transportation Initiative is a bold\, collaborative effort to improve regional mobility\, connect workers to jobs\, and ensure equitable access to opportunity across Milwaukee. This initiative prioritizes innovative transit solutions—such as on-demand workforce services\, improved public transit connections\, and first/last mile strategies—to address the region’s most pressing transportation challenges.  \n\n\n\nIn this session\, you’ll hear how Priority One is bringing together business leaders\, transit agencies\, local governments\, and community partners to create a coordinated approach that strengthens the economy while reducing barriers for residents. Case studies and early outcomes will demonstrate how Milwaukee is redefining transportation as a driver of workforce participation\, economic development\, and community well-being.  \n\n\n\nBiographies\n\n\n\nKevin  Muhs serves as the City Engineer for the City of Milwaukee. As City Engineer\, Kevin leads the Infrastructure Services Division of the Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) and is responsible for the design\, operation\, and maintenance of City-owned streets\, lighting and underground conduit\, sewers\, green infrastructure\, bridges\, and buildings. At the direction of Mayor Cavalier Johnson and the Milwaukee Common Council\, Kevin and his colleagues at Milwaukee DPW are working to transform City streets to provide high-quality public space for residents and serve all users. Kevin is both a planner and engineer\, and strongly believes that a robust multimodal transportation system is needed for the Milwaukee area to be economically competitive\, resilient\, and equitable.  \n\n\n\nDan Adams has been a Transit Specialist with the Milwaukee County Transit System for 2 years. In this role Dan manages MCTS’s 3\,700 bus stops\, 630 bus shelters\, and serves as a liaison to street construction projects.
