Description

Long-time commuter advocate and newspaper commentator JIM CAMERON offers a lively presentation and Q&A on Connecticut’s transportation crisis:

  • Our crowded highways falling into a state of disrepair
  • Hundreds of bridges considered “deficient”
  • Metro-North trains running slower while fares increase

How did our state go from “first to worst” in transportation?  And what does our future hold?

Cameron explores the options in an engaging, thought-provoking workshop with plenty of time to hear your ideas and answer your questions.  Cameron has been called “the transportation guru” having spent over 25 years studying and reporting on the issue.

A former NBC News anchor,  JIM CAMERON is recipient of the George Foster Peabody Award.  A Connecticut resident for over 25 years, he served on the Metro-North Commuter Council and authors a weekly newspaper column, “Getting There” which runs in the six Hearst daily papers every Monday, including The Fairfield Citizen.

An archive of 12 years of his commentaries can be found on his blog, “GettingThereCT”
