As with so many areas of public policy, transportation and mobility planning - from major infrastructure to ride shares - is usually evaluated through the lens of efficiency. In other words, the central question asked by many in this field is, "How quickly can we move people from one place to another?" Once again, the School of Public Policy seeks to examine this complex policy arena through the application of our "moral sense," asking questions related to scale, human flourishing, and public engagement.

In this half-day conference, panels will debate and discuss the following topics: 

  1. Can transportation actually enhance human flourishing and build community?
  2. At what level should transportation decisions be made?
  3. How is technology helping us think differently about transportation and flourishing?

With the 2028 Olympics looming, and major transportation projects underway, join us in Downtown Los Angeles for this timely and locally important series of discussions.

Who should attend?

  • Municipal Planners
  • Transportation Leaders
  • Transportation Tech Leaders
  • Concerned Citizens
