Mobility 21

On Friday, transportation professionals, elected officials, and businesses gathered in Anaheim for the Mobility 21 Summit to discuss strategies to improve transportation and mobility in Southern California.

Gloria Ohland's overview of the recently held 9th Annual Southern California Transportation Summit certainly provides a neat snapshot of the livability aspects of the event.  But a lot else was going on, which is no surprise for such a large event, and I have some observations of my own from attending.

(Editor's note: One of the drawbacks of the timing of things is I have been unable to add anything to the coverage of the Mobility 21 conference that occurred earlier this week.  Leaders from the freight industry, ports, car-lobby and government leaders held a summit on Monday to get together and talk about what they think needs to be done to fix our transportation system.  Fortunately, there was a lot of coverage in the media, Steve Hymon served as the conference's official blogger/twitterer and So.CA.TA.'s  Dana Gabbard wrote a lengthy review, which you can find below.)
