LivableStreets Alliance StreetTalk
*Mode shift: moving from driving to transit, biking and walking*
by Jason Schrieber, Principal, Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates
*Wednesday, July 22, 7:00-9:00 pm*

@ LivableStreets office space, 100 Sidney Street, Central Square, Cambridge

 What makes people shift out of their cars? Is it building more subways,
bike lanes, and better sidewalks? Is it financial factors like a gas tax,
congestion charges, and parking prices? Is it land use patterns like a mix
of uses, local retail and where people live and work? Or how about the
health and environmental benefits? Think about the factors that make you
choose to walk, bike, drive or take transit. What would make you, or the
people you know, take one mode of transportation over another?

Come to the StreetTalk to hear Jason's perspectives on these issues related
to the metro-Boston area, and get a visual tour of some of the great places
in the world for getting around. Jason will reveal some surprising truths
comparing the subsidy for transit versus that for driving. He will talk
about several local initiatives aimed at helping us achieve "mode shift".

*Jason Schrieber* has 14 years of multi-modal planning and design experience
including changing parking policies to better balance cars and other modes
of transportation. Jason previously worked for the City of Cambridge where
he managed all planning activities for the City's transportation department.
