From funding issues to environmental concerns, what are their biggest challenges? How is the role of the transportation agency in Southern California evolving in this brave new world of connected and autonomous vehicles and shared economy mobility providers?

Moving people and goods safely and efficiently is a top priority. Learn about up-to-date new advancements in connected vehicle and autonomous vehicle applications, evaluations, test beds and deployments that are happening right here in our backyard. Our leading automotive and technology panelists will discuss and answer questions on how California and the rest of our nation is getting connected through these new technologies. Moderator Panelists Lewis Gaskell Jr. (confirmed) Jonny Morris (confirmed) Dr. Joshua Schank (confirmed) Doug Seven (confirmed) AM 3: Reversing the Trends of Declining Transit Ridership Magic Kingdom Ballroom 3 Sponsored by Stantec Consulting Services Inc. Media and industry reports show bus transit ridership trending downward, while rail transit ridership trends upward. A proven tool to ease the crisis of traffic congestion in our region is to provide more transit opportunities. With billions of dollars of infrastructure in the works, transit agencies in Southern California and elsewhere are employing a wide variety of approaches to attract riders. Some of these efforts have borne fruit, while others are just underway. This distinguished panel of transit industry leaders will discuss both user trends at their systems, as well as the latest on what they are doing to increase ridership and the results they are seeing. Come join these experts in a candid discussion of what the future holds for transit. Moderator Panelists Arthur T. Leahy (confirmed) Ken Phipps (confirmed) Leslie Rogers (confirmed) Stephanie Wiggins (confirmed) AM 4: From the Ports to Your Front Porch: The Changing Landscape of Logistics Magic Kingdom Ballroom 4 Sponsored by Jacobs From food, goods and nearly everything in between – in 2010 over 1.5 billion tons of cargo valued at almost $2 trillion moved across the region’s transportation systems – an estimate only guaranteed to grow in the near future. Everything we purchase has an origin and destination with a number of steps in the process. The movement of goods thus requires a multimodal system utilizing our ports, highways, aviation and evolving technology. With the demand for more at a quicker pace, transportation and goods movement systems are moving to accommodate growth in the throughput. How do we remain competitive and support the region’s economic vitality, while meeting clean air standards and ensuring the best possible quality of life? Moderator Panelists Joshua J. Dolan (confirmed) Fran Inman (confirmed) Lisa Larroque Alexander (confirmed) Doane Liu (confirmed) Dr. Raymond Wolfe (confirmed) Sponsored by Skanska and WSP|Parsons Brinckerhoff Less Traffic, More Transit: LA County’s Measure M and How Local Measures Lead the Way Forward Presentation of Mobility 21 Awards Private Sector Leader of the Year Award Tribute Award Public Sector Leader of the Year Award Lifetime Achievement Award Keynote Address From U.S. DOT to regional and local agencies, transportation leaders across our country are leading the fight to end human trafficking.

Magic Kingdom Ballroom 2 Sponsored by Cerrell Associates / Allied Universal Now, like never before, transportation is at a crossroads. There are increasingly diverse, and sometimes conflicting, opinions about the fundamental purposes and objectives of transportation. This diversity of thought can empower us, leading to more interest, opportunities and funding. But it can also divide us, leading to fragmented advocacy and worse outcomes for transportation. This panel will discuss the latest thinking, from the regions and the state, and identify ways we can come together to influence the future of mobility and transportation in the Golden State. Moderator Panelists Darrell Johnson (confirmed) Darren Kettle (confirmed) Anne Mayer (confirmed) Phillip A.
