Kudos to our @uclaits.bsky.social colleagues on hosting a fantastic #LATransportationForum this week! 👏
We're touched they closed the conference with a tribute to Donald Shoup, and we're already excited for the next round of conversations at the Lake Arrowhead Symposium in October. 🌲 🏔️
We closed #LATransportationForum with a panel honoring the work and influence of Donald Shoup. CM Raman: "A lot of people are adopting and implementing his ideas without even knowing they came from him because of how immense and foundational his impact has been."
"Paris never had announce over and over it was going to be a car free games. No one in their right mind would drive in Paris." - Professor Michael Manville.
Goes on to discuss why the walking in Paris is great and why driveways, surface lots are deterrents to walking here. #LATransportationForum
