AM 1: Chairmans' Roundtable: Mobility Beyond the Limits Magic Kingdom 1 Sponsored by Cubic Transportation Systems As the needs of the public continue to change, transportation agencies must continue to adapt and evolve to help people get to where they need to go. Agencies are expected to think outside the box to produce solutions to physical and environmental constraints, while utilizing the latest technological advancements to solve complex transportation challenges. How will our region address these challenges? Where are the opportunities for agencies to collaborate to find innovative solutions? Join us as the political leaders of our Southern California regional transportation agencies exchange ideas, predictions, and solutions, and discuss how we can take Southern California beyond the limits. Moderator Darrell Johnson (confirmed) Panelists Hon. Robert Amparano (confirmed) Hon. James T. Butts (confirmed) Hon. Darcy McNaboe (confirmed) Hon. Manuel Minjares (confirmed) Hon. Tim Shaw (confirmed) Hon. Chuck Washington (confirmed) AM 2: The Age of Information: Evolution of Goods Movement Magic Kingdom 2 Sponsored by Trimble, Inc. The goods movement network is a complex and interdependent system with significant local, regional and national impacts. In this age of rapidly changing technologies and “black swans”, how can we help each other keep the network healthy, maintain our position as a global leader and keep goods moving? With data and security innovations driving change, what can public and private sector learn from one another to create new best practices to facilitate the evolution of the network? Our leading experts in goods movement and logistics will explore what’s coming and what we need to do to make ready in this age of information. Moderator Fran Inman (confirmed) Panelists Kristin Decas (confirmed) Dr. Noel Hacegaba (confirmed) David Libatique (confirmed) Juan Perez (invited) AM 3: Mobility on Demand Magic Kingdom 3 Sponsored by Iteris, Inc. Personal mobility is transforming our lives. Meal deliveries, doctors’ visits for mobility challenged patients, shared rides for the budget conscious college student, not to mention commuters…what can’t we do with just the single tap of a smartphone? This panel will explore the current trends in mobility on demand as California rapidly moves toward a smart, sustainable and multimodal future. Our expert leaders representing both public and private sector will examine critical opportunities for public transit, shared mobility and automation. Moderator Sarah Catz (confirmed) Panelists Justine Johnson (confirmed) George Kivork (confirmed) Marie Sullivan (confirmed) Vincent Valdes (confirmed) AM 4: Getting to Zero Magic Kingdom 4 Sponsored by VSCE, Inc. California’s transportation agencies have long been leaders in deploying clean vehicle technology. With the state’s goal to reach 5 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2030, a recently adopted state policy to transition to zero-emission bus fleets by 2040, and efforts to expand rail options while still meeting regional air quality mandates, questions arise: Will transportation agencies get the resources needed to adapt? Will manufacturers meet the challenges? What opportunities exist for business development? Will there be enough energy to meet the demand? Join us as transportation agencies, manufacturers and utilities discuss opportunities and barriers to success as we transition to a zero-emissions future. Moderator Lucy Dunn (confirmed) Panelists Curt Augustine (confirmed) Jennifer Bergener (confirmed) Carrie Schindler (confirmed) Michelle Sim (confirmed) Katie Sloan (confirmed) 11:45-12 p.m. 12-1:15 p.m. Sponsored by AECOM and HDR Welcome Remarks Transportation Update Presentation of 2019 Mobility 21 Awards Lifetime Achievement Award Arthur T. Leahy (confirmed) Hon. Gregory Pettis (in memoriam) Keynote Address California’s State of Education: Working Together to Take our Children Beyond the Limits There are currently over six million students in California’s K-12 school system. Two million of these students are underachieving. Is that OK? California leads the world in technology and entrepreneurship and yet one third of our students are failing. With critical workforce shortages facing the transportation industry, what is needed to develop our students and our future workforce? Think Together is a California statewide educational nonprofit that partners with schools to change the odds for children through enhanced school services. Dr. Avelar La Salle, Principal at Think Together, is an expert on public education in California, received her Ph.D. in Education from Stanford University and during her career has held the roles of teacher, principal, district administration, researcher, and university professor. 1:15-1:30 p.m. 1:30-2:30 p.m. PM 1: Rising Above the Fray: 2020 State and Federal Priorities Magic Kingdom 1 Sponsored by Flatiron As our agency and business leaders navigate the state and federal legislative landscape, how are they rising above the fray to overcome challenges, exceed expectations and deliver to our communities? With SB 1 delivering unprecedented state dollars, how are funds being spent and priorities determined? In DC, federal reauthorization is on the horizon for 2020. What should Southern California be doing now for success when reauthorization happens? Join us as our CEOs discuss their specific strategies on how each of their agencies will tackle these difficult challenges and also how as a region united, they will help Southern California achieve its full potential. Moderator Stephen Finnegan (confirmed) Panelists Kome Ajise (confirmed) Darrell Johnson (confirmed) Anne Mayer (confirmed) Phillip A. Washington (confirmed) PM 2: Transportation Innovation: What Lies Ahead? Magic Kingdom 2 Sponsored by ICF Innovation is about change, alteration, revolution and transformation. The concepts and ideas are many, but delivering true innovation is a monumental undertaking for both public and private sector leaders. What technology advances are being planned and what are the foreseeable roadblocks? How can we overcome the myriad of policy and implementation challenges and how is it different for public sector versus private sector? Join us as our leading experts share their insights into what lies ahead and the solutions needed to transform California into a smarter, cleaner and safer mobility future. Moderator Maria Salinas (confirmed) Panelists Jon Damush (confirmed) Dr. Aravind Kailas (confirmed) Jimmy Kim (confirmed) Brian Kelly (confirmed) Ryan Kelly (confirmed) PM 3: The Cost to Drive Magic Kingdom 3 Sponsored by Professional Engineers in California Government How much should people pay to drive, and how? Motorists pay gas and other taxes and, in some places, tolls or express lane charges. Some say that motorists should pay more or in different ways, including a road charge to replace the gas tax, more toll and express lane options, or congestion pricing on overcrowded roads. What makes sense and what will happen? Join us as our expert speakers provide critical insights and discuss their plans and projects for the brave new world of paying to drive in California. Moderator Dr. Martin Wachs (confirmed) Panelists Paula Beauchamp (confirmed) Michael Blomquist (confirmed) Megan Foster (confirmed) Dr. Joshua Schank (confirmed) PM 4: Cracking the Code of Transit Ridership Magic Kingdom 4 Sponsored by SafeworkCM Ridership has continued to decline for years despite tireless efforts by many transit agencies to reverse this trend. The share in use of passenger cars, including the rise of rideshare platforms, are rising in popularity while interest in fixed route systems are falling in this modern mobility era. Is there a way to make transit more competitive again? Join us as regional transportation leaders discuss new partnerships and strategic initiatives in the works to evolve the concept of “mass transportation” and crack the ridership code. Moderator Dr. James Moore (confirmed) Panelists Kurt Brotcke (confirmed) Conan Cheung (confirmed) Krista Glotzbach (confirmed) Stephanie Wiggins (confirmed) 2:30-3 p.m. 3-4 p.m. Sponsored by Kimley-Horn and PlanGrid CEO Roundtable: Leveraging Mobility Homelessness, housing density, climate change, resiliency, technology, jobs. What about mobility? The mission of transportation agencies is to move people and goods, but in recent years the federal government, state mandates, and local pressures have increasingly informed and directed local decision-making on transportation projects and programs. Should transportation agencies lead on these broader societal issues? The Southern California transportation executives will speak to how their agencies are working to meet the region’s mobility needs, now and in the future, and how they are also working with public and private entities to protect the environment, provide job opportunities and help address the challenges within our communities.
