SVBC in collaboration with SV@Home is hosting a forum to educate folks about the Intersection of Housing and Transportation.

It&#x27;s MAY! It&#x27;s not just Bike Month, but also Affordable Housing month! In order to celebrate both, SVBC in collaboration with SV@Home, is planning the May forum to dive into the importance of affordable housing in land use and what impacts it has on different modes of transportation. It will also talk about how a sustainable land use model can bring people out of cars and encourage the use of other modes. Land use/housing matters if we want folks to ride because things need to be close together.

There is so much work to do across 35 cities and towns and we HAVE to rely on you, the people. We can&#x27;t be successful without teams of people working to make change in each community and fight against the status quo. The format will be: <ul><li>First half with one or more speakers and sharing info on the policy agenda, advocacy training, how to recruit your friends and neighbors, and learning from city staff and elected officials, as well as among your peers from other cities.</li><li>Second half will be devoted to Local Team meetings through breakout groups designated by city. These breakout groups will give attendees a chance to discuss the information from the speaker and apply it to their city’s context as well as cover regular monthly business. </li></ul>This forum will occur monthly on the third Wednesday from 5pm to 7pm.Any questions, contact sandhya@bikesiliconvalley.org | diana@bikesiliconvalley.org
