Urban Planning and Policy Professor Kate Lowe’s panel discussion at the annual Transport Chicago conference held in June was featured in STREETSBLOG Chicago.

The “Funding Strategies for Regional Transit as Fiscal Cliff Approaches” session included several local transit experts discussing the funding of Chicago transportation agencies.

Lowe explained service cuts lead to lower revenues overall, “Lower fare revenues risk cuts, [which means] riders will leave transit, cancel trips, that will lead to lower revenues, which lead to cuts,” she said.
