    • Wednesday: Jon Orcutt, NYC DOT policy director and Wagner School adjunct professor, and Linda Bailey, NYC DOT federal programs adviser, will discuss federal transportation spending and the politics surrounding H.R. 7, the recently introduced House bill which would imperil funding for public transit, pedestrian, and cycling projects.
