| This event is expected to capture national transit media attention because FPTA, in partnership with APTA, has chosen this WTS luncheon to unveil its groundbreaking IM4Transit.org campaign, which involves identifying and recruiting at least 100,000 pro-transit Floridians. The campaign will be launched in Florida before being ramped up as a national effort. SFWTS Board Member Denis Eirikis is IM4Transit Campaign Director, and will moderate the panel discussion and presentations. |
