One of the big topics at the ATU/Non-Profit transit funding conference is the move to privatize transit service and the international attacks on transit unions and public employees in general.
There is a large campaign around this very issue in Toronto that serves as a great case study for the this political fight.
I won't get into too much analysis here but this is an issue that all transit advocates and nerds should be paying attention to.

Last but not Least I recommend this informative video on the topic.
