Brookfield Library To Present Program On Transportation's Future

BROOKFIELD, CT — The public library will be offering a program on the future of transportation.

"Off the Rails: Connecticut's Transportation Future Post-COVID" will be presented via the Zoom web conferencing platform on Dec. 2 from 7-8 p.m.

The program and Q & A will be hosted by long-time commuter advocate and newspaper commentator Jim Cameron and will cover Connecticut’s transportation crisis and its future post-COVID:

• Will riders ever return to commuter rail?
• Who will pay to keep the trains running?
• Where will money be found for our highways?
• How will new residential / workplace trends affect CT’s economy?

Cameron explores the options, with plenty of time to hear your ideas and answer questions.

A former NBC News anchor, Cameron is a recipient of the George Foster Peabody Award. He has been called "the transportation guru" having spent over 25 years working and reporting on the issue. Cameron served on the Metro-North Commuter Council and authors a weekly newspaper column, "Getting There," which runs in the Hearst daily and weekly newspapers.

Registration is available online.
