This initiative prioritizes innovative transit solutions—such as on-demand workforce services\, improved public transit connections\, and first/last mile strategies—to address the region’s most pressing transportation challenges.  \n\n\n\nIn this session\, you’ll hear how Priority One is bringing together business leaders\, transit agencies\, local governments\, and community partners to create a coordinated approach that strengthens the economy while reducing barriers for residents. Case studies and early outcomes will demonstrate how Milwaukee is redefining transportation as a driver of workforce participation\, economic development\, and community well-being.  \n\n\n\nBiographies\n\n\n\nKevin  Muhs serves as the City Engineer for the City of Milwaukee.
