TALC's 10th Annual Summit: Bay Area Solutions to Global Warming -- Cooling the Planet with Walkable Communities and World Class Transit March 24, 2007

Transportation is responsible for half of all greenhouse gas emissions in the Bay Area. While new technologies can help reduce emissions, they will not solve the problem. We must make it easier, even desirable, for people to drive less. The Bay Area can lead the way by turning the tide on sprawl and creating a region of walkable neighborhoods connected by fast, convenient transit.

The Transportation and Land Use Coalition's (TALC's) 10th Annual Summit will focus on the interconnected issues of smart growth, public transportation, bicycle/pedestrian safety, affordable housing, and community health, and how they relate to global warming.

Whether you are new to these issues or a longtime TALC supporter; whether you are a citizen activist, elected official, or planner; TALC's Summit is the place to get involved, strategize, network, and hone your advocacy skills in the movement for a better Bay Area.

Advance registration for the event entitles you to the low price of $15 ($30 at the door, space permitting), which includes a light breakfast, lunch, materials, and free attended bike parking.

PRE-REGISTRATION CLOSES AT 9:00 AM ON FRIDAY, MARCH 23.
