Panels
Finding the Right Balance
Prominent local business, environmental, social justice and government leaders will address a series of urgent questions facing planners:

  • How can we link transportation and land-use decisions to support “smart growth”?
  • Should we honor prior funding commitments, or start with a clean slate?
  • How much should the plan focus on overall policies vs. specific projects?
Considering the National Perspective
Transportation policy experts will offer their perspectives on the pending reauthorization of the federal Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century and the challenges and opportunities for the Bay Area.

Panelists:
  • Martin Wachs, Moderator
    Director, UC Berkeley’s Institute of Transportation Studies
