The Commercial Appeal | October 4, 2019

Sylvia Crum and Erik Henneghan of the Mayor’s Young Professionals Council express the importance of transportation for Shelby County.

Forward thinking cities have forward thinking transportation systems. Lack of high-quality public transit is a barrier to retaining companies and workers, as well as recruiting new companies and new talent.
