MUNICIPAL FINANCE CHALLENGES

AND POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS


Fatima Yousofi, senior officer, Infrastructure and Pensions, The Pew Charitable Trusts, said transit funding is suffering nationwide.

Remote work has reduced ridership, but dozens of cities have workers who still depend on commuter rail.

When it comes to finding new funding mechanisms, Yousofi praised California for being the first state to allow the creation of special Climate Resilience Districts.

The districts can finance projects that help communities adapt to the impacts of wildfires, sea-level rise and flooding.
