  \n\nLOCATION: Cabrillo College Horticulture Building\n\nWORKSHOP 
 DESCRIPTIONS AND SPEAKER BIO'S\n\n9:45am  Transportation Justice 101: 
 Housing, Transit, Safe Streets\nBob Allen is Director of Transportation 
 Justice at Urban Habitat\nUrban Habitat’s goal for the San Francisco Bay 
 Area is to shift transportation priorities in order to develop a connected, 
 affordable, and reliable transportation network. As transit systems and 
 bike networks improve and increase the desirability of urban neighborhoods, 
 Urban Habitat works to avoid the displacement of low-income people.  
 \n\nWatsonville Mayor Francisco Estrada is a native of the Pajaro Valley. 
 He holds a Masters in Public Administration and a special interest in 
 public health and social equity.\n\n11:05  Transportation Policy for a 
 Stable Climate\nChristopher Escárcega is Network Engagement Coordinator at 
 Climate Plan, working to a) shift state transportation funding from 
 auto-centric investments to more sustainable transportation; b) strengthen 
 California’s land use laws in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, 
 foster more diverse and compact communities, with homes available at a 
 range of incomes, with convenient public transportation and streets that 
 are safe for walking and biking. \n\nLUNCH BY INDIA JOZE\n\n1:15  Livable 
 County\nLocal land use decisions can either proliferate car trips or reduce 
 the need for auto travel. Invited back by popular demand, Cathy DeLuca, 
 formerly of Walk San Francisco, currently works at Livable City  Livable 
 City works to create a San Francisco of great streets and complete 
 neighborhoods where walking, bicycling, and transit are the best choices 
 for most trips, where public spaces are beautiful, well-designed, and 
 well-maintained, and where housing is more plentiful and more affordable. 
 \nLen Beyea, an urban planner, will lead a class on land use and 
 transportation for Campaign for Sustainable Transportation in early 2020. 
 Mike Guth, SC County Planning Commissioner, has long advocated for land use 
 planning where growth is focused on transit corridors with complete bicycle 
 and pedestrian networks. \n\n2:15  The Protected Bike Lane 
 Revolution\nPeter Bennett is the lead engineer working on the City of San 
 José’s protected bike lane network. San José has attracted national 
 attention for its “quick-build” installation that uses low-cost 
 materials to establish protected bike lanes in a short period of time. San 
 José built five miles of protected bike lanes in its Downtown in 2018. 
 \nGina Cole is the new Director of Bike Santa Cruz County. BSCC’s goal is 
 for people of all ages and abilities to feel comfortable using their bikes 
 for daily trips. \n\n3:15   Transit for a Livable County\nWhat can Santa 
 Cruz County learn from other places about how to get to the next level of 
 transit service?  Jeff Wood is creator of The Overhead Wire, a daily 
 newsletter on transportation and urban planning, and host of Talking 
 Headways podcast. James Sandoval, president of the bus drivers’ union, 
 participates in frequent sessions on how to improve daily bus service. 
 Sally Arnold is Board President of Friends of the Rail and Trail that 
 advocates for transit on the rail corridor. \n
