Transit in Transition
The UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium

Friday, April 1
Covel Commons | The Grand Horizons Room

The UCLA Arrowhead Symposium: Transit in Transition reconvenes in person at UCLA on April 1, 2022 after a successful online series this past fall. We assessed the state of public transit in a time of intense uncertainty. We explored the pandemic’s impact on operations, examined the post-bailout financial landscape, discussed ongoing equity issues, and hosted a roundtable with federal officials, who relayed the Biden administration’s plans for resuscitating public transit. We closed with a look into the future: will transit ever resemble its prior self? And is a return to “normal” even preferable — or is there something to be gained from an alternate path?

At this in-person event, we will be expanding on the topics discussed during the series and working further to answer these crucial questions.

The UCLA Lewis Center is a Diamond sponsor of this event.
