LANE – Last week, local policy leaders participated in a roundtable discussion about the future of transportation – its growth points, community engagement benchmarks, and climate impact.
The event was hosted by Better Eugene-Springfield Transportation (BEST) and AARP Oregon at the UO Ford Alumni Center, alongside community transportation partners like Lane County, Eugene-Springfield Safe Routes to School, Cascadia Mobility / PeaceHealth Rides, ODOT, LCOG, and LiveMove.
BEST executive director Rob Zako hosted the conversation with former Congressman Peter DeFazio, metro council president Lynn Peterson, and Lane Transit District general manager Jameson T. Auten. The panel discussed how to respond to transportation challenges and opportunities, like wrangling infrastructure funding, increasing accessibility, and planning for future needs.
