Sustainable San Mateo County: Beyond Freeway Expansion: Exploring Sustainable Alternatives (Online)
September 10 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join Sustainable San Mateo County for an insightful webinar as they delve into why freeway widening fails to solve traffic problems and negatively impacts communities and air quality. The event will feature South San Francisco Mayor James Coleman and community advocates Mike Swire (San Mateo County Transportation Authority Citizen Advisory Committee) and Julio Garcia (Rise South City). The webinar aims to shed light on how freeway expansions fail to reduce traffic, discourage public transit use, and exacerbate air pollution, disproportionately affecting disadvantaged communities. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with local leaders and advocates in a Q&A session to discuss sustainable and equitable transportation solutions for the region.
