Webinar: The End of Automobile Dependence

Monday, 8 February 2016 - 5:00pm

On February 8 at 5:00 pm PST, join Island Press and their Bay Area partners for an online discussion with global transportation expert Peter Newman. Peter will discuss how to accelerate a planning approach to designing urban environments that can function reliably and conveniently on alternative modes, with automobiles playing a reduced and manageable role in urban transportation. The discussion will focus on Newman’s new book, The End of Automobile Dependence, and how its messages can be applied to real world transportation problems. The discussion will be moderated by TransForm’s Chris Lepe, Senior Community Planner, Silicon Valley. 

Thanks to the webinar co-sponsors: TransForm; SPUR; Transportation and Land Development Committee, Transportation Research Board, The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; and APA Nor Cal Sustainability Committee.
