The Town Hall was an attempt to provide Bronx citizens and organizations with information on the borough's transportation infrastructure and policies and a forum to discuss Bronx residents' transportation, environmental, and quality-of-life concerns.

The Town Hall's five workshops - "Amenities & Greenways," "Mass Transit," "Truck Routes, Pedestrian Safety, and Streets," "Highway Studies," and "Freight Movement" each consisted of a dialogue between invited speakers and citizens. Four of the workshops featured a community representative presenting an alternative vision to that presented by a transportation agency. Although no earth-shaking decisions were made and no bombshells were dropped, the Town Hall was a successful cooperative effort between Bronx community groups, local residents, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council, and the NY State DOT. Reducing truck traffic, controlling air pollution, improved mass transit, and greenway construction were high priorities for those attending.
