We'd like to extend our sincerest gratitude to every partner and supporter for joining us this week in Chicago, the city where it all started for some of our EIP founders. We gathered at the newly opened Obama Presidential Center (@ObamaFoundation) on Monday.
It came to a close with four new EIP Signatories at McCormick Place on Tuesday! Thanks to the leadership of the @APTA_info team and Paul Skoutelas. There is a lot to say about the impact of this week; more to come.
