L.A.’s transportation and infrastructure is broken. We can fix it.

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.

MICHAEL SCHNEIDER, a lifelong Angeleno and car enthusiast, gave up his car a decade ago and started using a bicycle to get around the car capital of the country. This radical change opened his eyes to the impacts that car dominated cities have on our happiness, our freedom, and our kids. A tech entrepreneur turned political activist, Michael has raised millions to get the right people elected in Los Angeles and California, and in 2024 led the campaign to pass a ballot measure that will forever change LA.
