SUMMARY:Webinar: The Key to Building Great Communities: Listening for Understanding
DESCRIPTION:When Lynn Peterson began working as a transportation engineer\, she was taught to evaluate roadway projects based only on metrics related to driver safety\, allowable speed for the highest number of cars\, project schedule\, and budget. Involving the community and collaborating with peers were never part of the discussion. Today\, Peterson is a recognized leader in transportation planning and engineering\, known for her approach that is rooted in racial equity\, guided by a process of community engagement\, and includes collaboration with other professionals. In Roadways for People\, Lynn Peterson draws from her personal experience and interviews with leaders in the field to showcase new possibilities within transportation engineering and planning. Join us as we dive into how to pave the way towards a more inclusive transportation scene. \nSpeakers:\nElizabeth Doerr\, Principal and Founder\, Doerr & Co \nLynn Peterson\, President\, Oregon Metro Council\nRobert Puentes\, President and CEO\, Eno Center for Transportation\n \nDownload the Slides\nWatch the Recording:\n\n\n\nElizabeth Doerr is a writer\, mother\, and small business owner in Portland\, Oregon.
