Join us for an engaging webinar on parking and the pressing need for parking reform in the United States, led by acclaimed author and transportation staff writer for Slate Magazine, Henry Grabar. Moderated by Robert Puentes, the CEO of the Eno Center for Transportation, this webinar will delve into the captivating insights presented in Henry’s latest book, “Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World.” As America remains a land of free parking, this timely discussion will explore the detrimental impacts of our parking-centric culture and propose innovative solutions for a more sustainable and efficient future.
In this webinar, Henry Grabar will draw upon his extensive research and analysis to shed light on the hidden costs, environmental consequences, and social equity issues associated with excessive parking provision. Through an exploration of case studies and real-life examples, Grabar will challenge conventional notions of parking as an unquestioned necessity and invite participants to reimagine our urban landscapes. With thought-provoking discussions and actionable recommendations, this webinar aims to inspire policymakers, urban planners, transportation professionals, and concerned citizens to advocate for meaningful parking reform that prioritizes vibrant communities, reduces congestion, and fosters sustainable transportation options. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the conversation and gain valuable insights from one of the leading voices in transportation journalism.

At transit stations, riders appreciate a wide variety of retail outlets from newsstands to restaurants. However, the retail landscape is rapidly evolving due to a decline in transit ridership and a shift towards online purchasing. This webinar will show how innovative transit agencies, property managers, and developers are adapting to this changing retail climate – with strategies designed to enhance station amenities, attract more riders, improve safety, and increase transit agency revenues. This webinar is jointly sponsored by the Eno Center for Transportation and the American Planning Association’s Transportation Planning Division.
Speakers: Laura Barr, Senior Vice President, CBRE Charles Di Maggio, Chief Executive Officer, Greystone Management Solutions Susan Fine, Principal, Fine Development Partners
Moderator: Philip Plotch, Principal Researcher, Eno Center for Transportation
Laura Barr leads a San Francisco-based team with a passion for the urban public realm and consumer trends, innovating “retail-as-a-service,” an approach to leasing and operations now used by top mixed-use developers and operators that demystifies the value creation for retail. As a result, Laura and her team get involved early on and advise clients on positioning or repositioning major assets and on consumer brand growth strategy. Laura and her team have advised on several landmarks including Ghirardelli Square, Golden State Warriors’ Chase Center, Mission Rock with the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer and the widely publicized Springline project in Menlo Park for which the retail activation strategy helped set office rent records in 2022.
Laura served for six years on CBRE’s Americas Producer Advisory Board as its youngest member and co-chaired the Futures Committee, which produced research on the impact of autonomous vehicles on real estate.
Charles Di Maggio leads Greystone Management Solution’s leasing and asset management teams throughout the United States. Actively involved in real estate, management, law and construction in both the public and private sectors for over 35 years, Mr. Di Maggio provides our clients his broad experience in real estate law, lease negotiation, drafting, retail concession development, valuation and public sector procurement.
Prior to joining Greystone, Mr. Di Maggio was an executive vice president for Grenadier Realty Corp. He has also served as the City of New York’s lead housing and real estate lobbyist in Albany, the Assistant Commissioner for Local Government Affairs and Contract Management for the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and as the Assistant Representative to the Board of Estimate for the Mayor’s Office of the City of New York under the administration of Edward I. Koch.
Susan Fine, principal of OasesRE and developer of the Turnstyle retail project, has built in New York City from the ground up (and sometimes below grade), coordinating every step of the development process – financing, leasing, developing, construction, and management.
Most recently, she completed a Senior Advanced Leadership Fellowship at Harvard University where she focused on how to use “bricks and clicks” to help micro businesses thrive and lead to wealth creation. She is organizing pilot programs in Massachusetts and Chicago. A summary of these efforts is attached.
Ms. Fine completed the first privately financed project within the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s subway system, Turnstyle. According to the Wall Street Journal, “the subterranean marketplace presents a departure from the way the MTA has handled development” and is a model for future privatization. The New York Times complimented “the density, variety and clarity of the design” calling Turnstyle “a small scale evocation of a busy shopping street.”

Shared electric bikes and scooters have sprung up in several cities across the United States with a promise to fill the existing gaps in urban mobility systems and to transform how people travel. Driven largely by private investments, they have been evolving constantly to meet the changing market needs and to adjust to the disruptions caused during the pandemic. Meanwhile, cities are innovating to develop governance, regulatory, and financial structures that can ensure that these new modes ultimately serve the needs of citizens in terms of improved accessibility, affordability, equity, and sustainability. Panelists on this webinar will discuss recent trends for shared micromobility services, their evolving role in supporting urban transportation, strategies for city leaders to better direct and manage them, and the vision for the next decade.

Speakers: Jeff Davis, Senior Fellow and Editor, Eno Transportation Weekly Jon Hammond, ETW & Administrative Associate Robert Puentes, President/CEO
Eno’s newest study builds the ongoing initiative to improve transit rail project delivery in the United States. In On the Right Track, we selected 10 countries from all over the world to conduct detailed reviews. This analysis found there are clear lessons the United States can learn from its peer nations with respect to transit project delivery. More important than the precise governance structure, delivery method, or process employed is the shared commitment at all levels of government to delivering high-quality transit. Join us in a discussion of the papers findings, insights, and lessons for US policymakers and builders.
