Event Description:
This event is open to Spring Start Centurions only.
The Streetcar. Electric buses. Bicycles lanes. Free bus fare! It’s hard to keep up with all the transportation headlines in the Metro these days. We have gathered the experts to talk about all of the exciting momentum around public transit, and how the public perception is changing. What effects does the Streetcar expansion have on development? Why are people hesitant to ride the bus? Are there any local cities that are bike-friendly? Who is addressing the conundrum of ‘the last mile’? We’ll address these questions and much more at this transit-oriented IUC!
Speakers:
Jameson Auten: Deputy CEO and COO at KCATA
Donna Mandelbaum: Communications Director for KC Streetcar Authority (Centurions Fall Active)
Matt Staub: Chair of KC Regional Transit Alliance (Centurions Alum)
We highly encourage attendees to arrive by either bus, bike, or streetcar. You will receive an email with options on how you can get from work/home to the IUC location via public transit.
