Join us and guest speakers as we discuss topics ranging from the art and architecture of Buffalo’s Metro Rail system to the current state of, and future plans for, public transit in our region.

Oishei Foundation, and the continued generosity of our members and donors. We will have a finalized speaker list shortly. There are just a couple more people to pin down. A rather zany image to use is attached. I can create a version that has some more information (postcard style, with the date, location, etc.) if that is helpful.
