Mineta Transportation Summit: The Intersection Between Transportation and Housing

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Building Blocks to the Future
Keynote Introduction: Norman Mineta, Secretary (Ret.), U.S. Department of Transportation Featured Speaker: Asha Agrawal, Ph.D., Director, Mineta Transportation Institute National Transportation Finance Center Moderator: Karen Philbrick, Ph.D., Executive Director, Mineta Transportation Institute Additional Panelists TBA
While the San Francisco Bay Area is booming with jobs and (for many) high wages, people are increasingly priced out of the housing market. The region risks losing people to fill jobs that are essential to California’s economy. A variety of taxes, grants, fees and other public revenue sources can help fund affordable housing. Moreover, an innovative solution is to involve public transportation agencies. To that end, agency-owned land in and around transportation hubs could be incentivized to create transit-oriented development projects, which place high-density housing above or adjacent to transit centers. This provides easy mobility while offering less-costly living space.
These and other innovations will be discussed at this free, half day summit.
Location: 110 The Embarcadero, Taube Family Auditorium, San FranciscoTime: 8:15 a.m. check-in and continental breakfast, 9-11:30 a.m. program Notes: Free program; please register by Thursday, June 20 at noon; underwritten by the Mineta Transportation Institute
