Putting America Back on Track The Case for a 21st Century Public Rail System, with Maddock Thomas

URBN DUG's first speaker event of the year, with URBN Concentrator Maddock Thomas ('26)

The Urban DUG welcomes you to our first speaker event of the year of our Lunch and Learn Series. Maddock Thomas, a fellow student and Urban Studies concentrator in his junior year, presented his published white paper on public railroad ownership, making the case for a 21st century public railroad system and explaining the viability of it. We welcome the beginning of our URBN DUG's official guest speaker series and look forward to seeing you all again!
