Mineta Transportation Summit: The Intersection Between Transportation and Housing

Go To Past Event
from Mineta Transportation Summit: The Intersection Between Transportation and Housing held on

While the San Francisco Bay Area is booming with jobs and (for many) high wages, people are increasingly priced out of the housing market and the region is losing people to fill jobs that are essential to California’s economy. In response to this crisis, we have seen a proliferation of transit-oriented projects (TODs) which place high-density housing above or adjacent to transit centers. TODs provide easy mobility while offering less costly living space. Join us to learn the effective strategies used by planners, policy makers and advocates to implement high quality, equitable transit-oriented station areas.

These and other innovations will be discussed at this free, half day summit.
