SPUR is convening transit leaders from across the Bay Area for our Ideas + Action 2022: Mobility for All symposium on August 22 at The Commonwealth Club.
We will be welcoming Beverly A. Scott, PhD — a trailblazing leader in public transportation management and a powerful voice for people-oriented service — to kick off the afternoon. Dr. Scott will then be joined in discussion by SPUR’s President and CEO, Alicia John-Baptiste and executives from CalSTA, MTC, and SFMTA to discuss how to leverage state and federal investments. Later in the afternoon, facilitated working groups will explore ideas on transportation funding, public space, electric infrastructure, new mobility, and seamless transit. View the full agenda here
While the keynote and opening panel will be livestreamed, in-person attendance will be limited to sponsors and invited transit leaders in order to have meaningful small group, working sessions. Sponsorships are available; contact afasenmyer@spur.org.
We hope that you will join us to drive impactful change!
The Housing Needs of Undocumented Residents
JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, JULY 25TH 12PM
Undocumented immigrants face unique and often invisible barriers to housing—exclusion from federal programs, fear of retaliation, and discriminatory screening practices.
Join us for a timely conversation on how we can break down these barriers and advance housing solutions that include everyone—regardless of immigration status.
We’ll explore:
– Why undocumented immigrants are excluded from key housing programs
– How fear and discrimination drive housing instability
– Local policies and community-based models creating real change
