The transportation community has provided more mobility options in the last 25 years to SoCal residents, but are those options being utilized or is the private car always the default way to travel? How does housing development and location impact those decisions? Transportation professionals work to address needs and preferences. Recent and ongoing polling may paint the post-Pandemic picture for transit and solo drivers and a session pulse poll can tell us how well transportation professionals are listening and adjusting to the new normal. Moderator Panelists Lisa Bahr (confirmed) Richard Bernard (confirmed) Dina El-Tawansy (confirmed) Juan Matute (confirmed) Jennifer Vides (confirmed) AM 2: Mobility 22: Moving People and Goods All Mobility 21 partners intersect with one another – transit agencies, private sector businesses, logistics. What has happened in the logistics arena in the last 25 years has been a sea change for our roads, our economy and our communities. How we manage that growth in the next 25 years, especially as it relates to transportation of goods, will determine much about mobility in Southern California into the 22nd Century. Pulse poll with questions centered around the economic and mobility impact of the logistics industry.
