Where

Greater Boston endures some of the nation's worst rush hour traffic. Our aging transit system is maddening and unreliable. It's a crisis that puts our region's prosperity at risk. The Boston Globe's Spotlight Team delved into this subject in a three-part series, "Seeing Red," which began November 19th. Please come to a follow-up discussion event that includes Globe reporters who worked on the series, as well as local transportation specialists.


*Seating will be provided on a first come, first serve basis.
