SoCal in Attendance at View From the Hill and the CBC Brain Trust

COMTO’s A View from the Hill is a series of legislative advocacy which occurs every September on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, bringing together legislative and industry experts to discuss relevant issues facing the transportation industry. The program begins with a legislative panel discussion and concludes with COMTO members making visits to their respective Congressional officials and representatives. These Congressional meetings serve to share COMTO’s message, legislative agenda, and views on the rehabilitation and revitalization of America’s transportation infrastructure. 

A View from the Hill ensures the continuation of COMTO’s mission of ensuring a level playing field and maximum participation in the transportation industries for minority individuals, businesses, and communities of color.

 The Braintrust brings together the best minds and brightest thinkers in the field to discuss issues of relevance to disadvantaged peoples in transportation, including economic development, community participation, public safety, universal access, and business opportunity. These experts come together annually and represent both a consolidation of the public and private sectors and a collaboration of diverse disciplines in the transportation industry.

The free flow of thought-provoking questions and subsequent discussion of the issues in a public setting can lead to an ongoing dialogue among all stakeholders. This significantly assists the COMTO leadership in its efforts to both develop a consensual agenda and devise a strategic plan for its Chapters and membership.
