Transportation infrastructure is at the heart of our modern society. Transportation is critical to personal mobility, environmental sustainability, energy use, as well as global and local commerce. Following global trends, Washington State will see large shifts in population while dealing with ever increasing energy costs. Consequently, transportation will play an ever-increasing role in defining society.
These challenges will be the backdrop for a conversation by the Summit's Built Environments Panel. Issues such as defining smart growth and evaluating the obstacles to implementing or sustaining smart transportation strategies will be central to the discussion. Further, intersections between culture, perceptions of standard of living, and transportation modes/strategies will be explored while tackling the above issues.
