What will we be talking about at the conference?

Here are some thoughts and projects we’ve shared, including a sneak peak at some of the content being presented by our team and colleagues from a variety of professions:

Transit Oriented Development: Form or Finance What roles do density, transit, and zoning play in the affordability of housing? This session will feature developers and policy experts strategies for affordability in transit oriented development.   Wayfinding and Transit Design: True Accessibility and Universal Design As we design transit stations, it is important to remember that for many people with disabilities, several barriers remain in navigating to and within the pedestrian environment. Ron Brooks will be talking with Sarine Sahakian about new technology and wayfinding strategies.   Mobility + Transit Projects and Articles on evolveEA.com Browse more of our mobility-focused content, including transit system planning, station area design, community planning and active transportation planning at all scales from neighborhood development to multi-county regions and beyond.
