The Business of Better Buses
On behalf of the MetroNow Coalition, Federal City Council and the Greater Washington Board of Trade invite you to attend the third in MetroNow's 2022 Bus Champions series, The Business of Better Buses, on Monday, May 16 from noon-1pm. The conversation will explore why and how we can make investments and changes to city streets to make the bus work better for riders.
MetroNow principals Anthony Williams, CEO of the Federal City Council and Jack McDougle, CEO of the Greater Washington Board will host this discussion and Q&A with special guests, Kyle Gebhart, Director of Bus Priority at NYC DOT and Megan Kanagy, Mass Transit Branch Manager at DDOT. The conversation will explore the why, what, and how of improving the performance of buses on our roadways.
Attendees will get insights from New York City’s experiences having built more than 30 miles of bus lanes, dig into the importance of various infrastructure and technology investments, and look ahead at the bigger picture of how this will all work once a connected bus priority network is complete. Register below, and get your questions ready for the audience Q&A portion of the hour.
Megan Kanagy is the Mass Transit Branch Manager at the District Department of Transportation (DDOT)
Kyle Gebhart is the Director of Bus Priority at the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT)

The MetroNow Coalition is made up of regional leaders from the business, non-profit, and advocacy communities who believe that transit is designed to bring us together —at work, school, and play. Today, we believe our collective advocacy for better transit for the Washington DC region is more important than ever.
We launched the MetroNow Dispatch to bring residents, leaders, and transit agencies together to think about how we can make better transit today, during the pandemic, and “tomorrow,” as we look beyond recovery to how we can build a more equitable, sustainable, and accessible transportation system for our region.
