TransForm's Summit

LEARN - CONNECT - ACT

Please note that TransForm will NOT hold a Summit in 2010 as we have launched a new lineup of events.

The Summit brings together over 300 people to learn, connect, and act: from interested residents and community activists to nonprofit leaders and policymakers.  

It's a great place to learn and get inspired about all kinds of issues: public transportation, housing, walking, bicycling, social justice, health, smart growth, and community planning. 

TransForm's 2009 Summit a Success!

The 2009 Summit focused on the critical role of transportation and land use in the health of our economy, pocketbooks, and planet - and highlighted solutions that can help on all three fronts.

We had an incredible keynote speaker.  Scott Bernstein from the Center for Neighborhood Technology in Chicago presented fascinating findings on the combined cost of housing and transportation in the Bay Area that showed that the things we're all fighting for save people and governments money.  You can watch Scott's speech on our YouTube channel.

Despite a scorching hot day, we had a strong turnout - and a lot of people who got to launch water balloons at Stuart Cohen as a reward for signing up for the Car-Free Challenge.
