Listen "Finally, A Public Transit Bill! Plus, Food Support and Free Events"

Episode Synopsis

We have known all year that regional transit agencies were headed towards a fiscal cliff, so it only makes sense that lawmakers finally passed a transit funding bill in the middle of the night last Friday. As the $1.5 billion package heads to the Governor’s desk, we’re looking at what made it in the final bill. Plus, we’re discussing where to find food support and free events around the city.
