States have been exploring new ways to diversify transportation revenue streams, and for funding advocates, there are many lessons to be learned. The 12th Annual National Workshop for State & Local Transportation Advocates being held July 14-15 in Washington, D.C. will help you understand what’s working and why; what mistakes to avoid; and how to get your initiatives across the finish line.
