To encourage regional transportation options and increase global economic competitiveness, Thrive today announced its support for legislation enabling the creation of a Regional Transit Authority, or RTA.
“Transportation is about job creation, about how we get to work, how we connect, how we recreate, and how we transport goods and services,” said Rafael Carbonell, Thrive’s Executive Vice President. “It is about the economy and workforce development as much as it is about quality of life, land use, energy, and water. Transit needs don’t stop at municipal boundaries, therefore they need to be addressed regionally.”
