  • 100 Lecture Series: L.A.’s transportation and infrastructure is broken. We can fix it. with Michael Schneider

    Live Stream

    Michael Schneider, a Los Angeles native, traded his car for a bicycle over a decade ago. Since then, Michael has become politically active; as the founder of Streets For All, his organization has had a dramatic impact on L.A. — from passing Measure HLA in 2024 to flipping the L.A. City Council to making and changing laws in Sacramento. In this talk Michael will go over a brief history of L.A. from a transportation point of view, talk about Measure HLA, the current state of street safety and multimodal transportation in the city, and discuss what needs to change to make L.A. functional, safe, and multimodal for all.

With Professors Lewis Lehe and Michael Manville Join us for a virtual event to hear Professors Lewis Lehe of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Michael Manville of UCLA discuss how parking shapes our cities — how much land is devoted to parking, how researchers measure its footprint, and what we give up in exchange for so much parking.  Following their presentations, Ellen Schwartz, manager of the UCLA Center for Parking Policy, will introduce a new synthesis summarizing research on the many impacts of parking infrastructure, how minimum parking requirements contribute to oversupply or otherwise shape or constrain new development, and the early outcomes from cities that have eliminated them. After the presentations, Adam Millard-Ball will moderate a speaker Q&A and audience discussion. Register Claim Your Credits Attendees who are members of the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) can claim up to 1.00 CM credits from the American Planning Association’s website.
