Human Transit with Jarrett Walker

  • LivXplore 10 Fourth Street Petaluma, CA United States (map)

To meet Petaluma's ambitious carbon neutrality goals we must shift 70% of automobile trips to other modes of transportation!  Making this mode shift will require a huge investment in public transit. 

Join Know Before You Grow for a discussion of the revised edition of Human Transit. We will screen the Congress on the New Urbanism's webinar with Jarrett Walker after which Dr. Walker will join us for live Q&A. Dr. Walker became familiar with Petaluma during the years he was learning about transit. He was thrilled to be asked to talk with a KBYG audience.

To allow for ample time to answer your questions, the webinar will begin promptly at 7 pm. Please arrive at LivXplore (or Zoom) early to settle in before we start!
