LWVGB Membership Meeting
February 25, 2011
Topic: Public Transit Issues in Birmingham
Speaker: Peter Behrman, MAX Director
On Friday, February 25, 2011, MAX director Peter Behrman spoke on public transit issues in Birmingham at the League of Women Voters of Greater Birmingham's membership meeting. The public was also invited to attend the meeting held in the Electra Room of the downtown headquarters of Alabama Power. Guests were invited to bring a brown bag lunch or grab a lunch in the Alabama Power cafeteria to enjoy during the meeting.
Behrman began his career as a bus driver in Los Angeles and has worked at other systems around the country, including Albuquerque, New Mexico. That city is roughly the size of Birmingham but had a larger transit system because of strong lobbying and funding at both the federal and local levels.
He is dedicated to making the MAX system efficient and finding funding to sustain it. He shared viewpoints about transit from around the country as well as viewpoints from observers about the Birmingham system.
