Denny Zane, executive director of Move LA, will speak at the August 8 meeting of Southern California Transit Advocates on the subject of public transportation funding. His presentation will begin at 1:00pm, with the So.CA.TA business meeting to follow at 2:15pm. The event is free and open to the public and will be held on the 4th floor of Angelus Plaza, 255 S. Hill St in downtown Los Angeles.

Mr. Zane is a former Santa Monica city councilmember (1981-1990) and served as that city's mayor in 1988; he is also the former executive director for the Coalition for Clean Air. He was the primary organizer of last year's conference on ways to pay for the region’s road and transit needs. In addition, Zane led the campaign that resulted in the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission acquiring the right-of-way for the under-construction Expo Line light rail, and also initiated the campaign for Metro to begin purchasing natural gas-powered buses.
