Listening Session: U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Partnership for COVID-19 Recovery

To educate communities about how transit agencies can coordinate with municipalities, public housing authorities and school districts to provide essential services in their communities, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH) have created a unique partnership to encourage these activities and highlight the federal funding available to support them. FTA Deputy Administrator K. Jane Williams and HUD PIH Assistant Secretary R. Hunter Kurtz will co-host a 90-minute listening session to share information on value-added services and partnerships that are developing across the country to provide targeted populations with access to transportation, education support services (such as WiFi), food, medical appointments, and other essential services as communities recover from the COVID-19 public health emergency. The listening session will include speakers from transit agencies, a public housing authority and the National Center for Mobility Management.
