The Focus of This Year's Summit
This year, the Summit will focus on the critical role of transportation and land use in the health of our economy, pocketbooks, and planet - and highlight solutions that can help on all three fronts.

Between the devastated stock market, unemployment rates, and impending climate doom, it's a wonder any of us get out of bed in the morning. But we do - and it's because we sense that all three of these challenges can be addressed by the very things we're working for: world-class public transportation and walkable communities in the Bay Area and beyond.

This Year's Keynote Speaker: Scott Bernstein
Scott Bernstein, founder and president of the Chicago-based Center for Neighborhood Technology, will give this year's keynote. His engaging presentation will focus on the combined cost burden of housing and transportation in the Bay Area.
