We’ve added a number of new speakers and items to the agenda for Capital Ideas in Sacramento this November 16-17. We’re bringing together state legislators, advocates, local leaders and others intent on improving policy and raising new money for smart, ambitious projects to better connect local communities.
You can expect an impressive and wide-ranging roster of speakers, panelists and workshop participants for our second Capital Ideas conference, happening in Sacramento in just a few weeks. There are still a limited number of hotel rooms available as of right now, so don’t miss your chance to register and be in the room for one of the best “roll your sleeves up” transportation policy gatherings around.
REGISTER TODAY View the full agendaWe’re lucky to be joined by this sharp pair of keynote speakers. Speaker Greg Hughes, a notable Republican in Utah’s state legislature, is an outspoken advocate for increasing state transportation revenues and a champion for the ongoing transit investments that have been defining the Salt Lake City region as a terrific place to live and do business. We’re also proud to have Sacramento Mayor-elect Darrell Steinberg on hand to provide his perspective as a former state legislator who helped produce the state’s climate change law, while also addressing the new mobility challenges that await him at the municipal level in Sacramento.

The terrific speakers on our four panels will be discussing recent state legislative efforts to reform outdated policy or raise new money for transportation, the future of the smart city, how a few state departments of transportation are upending the conventional wisdom and making smart reforms, and an in-depth dive on the many encouraging things happening in California — including their notable shift away from evaluating transportation projects based on level-of-service.
