Dear City Council Members, Commissioners, and Staff,Please find information below about the Connecting Communities workshop series
[http://www.transformca.org/ConnectingCommunities], featuring several Menlo Park Commissioners and some of the best experts on
mobility, housing, and the environment.
Tonight, we’re pleased to co-sponsor with SAMCEDA, Friends of Caltrain, and Transform, Dr. Dan Sperling of UC Davis ITS, and
California Air Resources Board Member to discuss his new book on the Three Revolutions of Transportation (Autonomous, Shared, and
Electric). It will be followed by additional workshops over the next month:
Three Revolutions: Planning for an electric, autonomous, shared transportation future
April 19, 6:30PM - 8:00PM
SamTrans Auditorium
1250 San Carlos Ave, San Carlos
Three revolutions will fundamentally change transportation. But whether these changes will be for better or worse for social
equity, traffic congestion, pollution, and energy use, will depend on the policy choices we make now. Speakers include: Dan
Sperling from UC Davis, Deb Schrimmer from Lyft, and TransForm’s Clarrissa Cabansagan. The event will be moderated by Billy Riggs.
Co-sponsors: SAMCEDA, Menlo Spark, TransForm, Friends of Caltrain

Optimizing Our Highways: Moving More People with Fewer Cars
April 30, 7:00PM - 8:30PM
Burlingame Public Library, Lane Room
480 Primrose Road, Burlingame
An express lane is now being considered on 101 from San Francisco to San Jose, but projections show that it alone will do little
to solve our traffic woes. Can we make Silicon Valley the place to break out with truly disruptive ideas that work?
Clarrissa Cabansagan, New Mobility Policy Director at TransForm, will outline how a 101 Mobility Action Plan (MAP) can achieve
stronger equity and environmental outcomes while improving mobility. Jeff Tumlin, Principal and Director of Strategy at
Nelson\Nygaard, will discuss how to best implement managed/express lanes.

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the region and the state. What transportation strategies make
