Have you struggled with how to build community at the same time you are planning, designing, building a project? Understanding of the role and import of transportation in peoples’ lives has evolved, and transportation professionals need a new frame and methodology to help them successfully meet and balance multiple vague and conflicting goals. Transportation projects we plan and deliver must be informed by the needs of the people and communities they are intended to serve. This edition of The Transit Authority will feature a conversation with Lynn Peterson, author of the new book Roadways for People: Rethinking Transportation Planning and Engineering. Lynn will describe how the well-being of communities and the people who live there is dependent of the planning, community involvement, and goal-setting that goes into the front end of transportation projects. Lynn is currently serving as President of Oregon Metro Council.
