Workshop Session I: Friday, March 16, 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Concentration: Infrastructure and Cleaner, More Efficient Transportation

California's historical, automobile-centered development patterns have led to traffic congestion, dependence on oil, and unhealthy air pollution. But the trend is changing: California is receiving national attention and interest for its innovative approaches to sustainable land use and transportation. This workshop will provide information and updates on California's most recent efforts to create more livable communities that offer an array of transportation choices. Panelists will discuss regional plans to implement SB 375, California's effort to reduce GHGs through better planning; Los Angeles' 30/10 transit expansion program; and continuing efforts to increase mobility, reduce oil dependence, and create jobs.

Presenters:
Victoria Rome, Deputy Director, California Advocacy, Natural Resources Defense Council
Darrell Clarke, Beyond Oil National Co-Lead, Sierra Club
