Our friends at the Wilton Library are putting on a program with Jim Cameron, long-time commuter advocate and newspaper commentator.  This will be a Zoom presentation including a Q&A on Connecticut's transportation future.

-Will riders ever return to commuter rail?

-Who will pay to keep the trains running when Federal money is gone?

-Where will money be found to repair our highways?

-How will new residential / workplace trends affect CT's economy?

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 working and reporting on the issue.  A former NBC News anchor, Jim Cameron is a recipient of the George Foster Peabody Award.  A Connecticut resident for over 30 years, he served 19 years on the Metro-North Commuter Council, later founding the Commuter Action Group.  He also authors a weekly newspaper column, "Talking Transportation" which runs in the CT Mirror and other online news sites.  Cameron is also author of his first book "Off the Record:  Confessions of a Media Consultant."
