May 28, 2009By Stephen Lee Davis
Can smarter transportation investments play a part in bringing about an economic recovery?
Join us as we discuss the connections between transportation and economic opportunity tomorrow, Friday, April 29 from 1-3 p.m. EDT. Speakers will explore how the transportation sector drives the economy and creates employment opportunities for American workers. Topics will include the transportation sector’s ability to create good jobs and sustain global growth, and the use of transportation as a driver of neighborhood revitalization.
A panel of experts on economic opportunity will lead our discussion, including Carmen Rhodes, Executive Director of FRESC, Mac Lynch, Program Associate at Apollo Alliance, Peter Skinner, Director of Transportation & Land Use at Silicon Valley Leadership Group. The session will be moderated by Dena Belzer, President of Strategic Economics.

I wish I’d seen this a little earlier – I’d have liked to participate. Is there a transcript or podcast or something? This is important!
