PalmTran to host a presentation by Jarrett Walker, a consulting transit planner, on March 24th

About the author of the Human Transit blog, Mr. Walker:

Since 1991 I've been a consulting transit planner, helping to design transit networks and policies for a huge range of communities.  My goal here is to start conversations about how transit works, and how we can use it to create better cities and towns.

About the meeting this coming Thursday:

     This is part of a new network review initiative from the new [PalmTran] Executive Director, Clinton B. Forbes. Obviously the presentation will touch on Palm Beach County examples, but much of it will be of general interest.
     It’s unusual to have a board meeting noticed as a public event, but PalmTran is encouraging one and all to come. It’s from 1:30 to 3:00 pm at the Boca Raton Municipal Building, 6500 Congress Avenue in Boca Raton. The contact for further info is Steve Anderson, sanderson@pbcgov.org. No RSVP appears to be required.

If you attend the meeting and would like to share your thoughts please email me. My email address is in the right-hand column of this blog. Recently, on another transit topic, I attended the 2016 Safe Streets Summit in Deerfield Beach and you can read about that using this link. A highly informative presentation with many ideas and new concepts for transit, design, and public safety.
