Connecting Places: Implementing Access to Transit

Connecting places goes beyond just active transportation – it must also include transit and land use. By encouraging modal interactions through station area planning, first last mile solutions, and rail with trail networks, a transformative transportation system will ensure equitable access for all. In this session, panelists will share examples of policies and projects that make this vision a reality.
