Speaker event: Win-Win Transportation Solutions with Todd Litman
Planning to help the economy, benefit the environment and improve our communities

REI, 1790 Expo Parkway, Sacramento
TOPIC: Learn about cost-effective and feasible tools we can use to solve traffic, mobility, and safety issues to build healthier communities.
International transportation guru and planner Todd Litman shows us ways we can solve these transportation problems, regardless of uncertainties about global warming, political interests, or other environmental and social impacts.
This free event will fill up fast.
Noon–1:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 13
SACOG Board Room, 1415 L Street, Suite 300, Sacramento
