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!
Getting Inclusionary Housing Right
JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH 12PM
Cities across Santa Clara County are considering this powerful tool to build more new affordable homes without subsidy.
But done wrong it can fall short, or even stop the development of new homes in its tracks. Learn how it works, and how to get it right!
Many of our local cities are joining forces right now in a shared nexus study, the wonky and in-depth analysis that assesses the feasibility of local residential development and the potential for developers of market-rate housing to add a share of affordable homes to their buildings.
If cities require too few affordable homes or affordability that’s too shallow, they leave public benefits on the table. Too much, and developers can’t build any housing at all.
Come hear about local cities that are getting it right: successfully using inclusionary housing policies to achieve mixed-income communities, generate funding to subsidize deeper levels of affordability, and gain valuable land for affordable homes!
