CEO Roundtable: What’s Ahead for Transportation
in Southern California

Join Mobility 21 Board Members and Chief Executives of Southern
California’s transportation commissions for a candid look at
upcoming significant capital programs in Imperial, Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Ventura
counties. Panelists will explore how our region works together to
secure funding for the impressive array of transportation services
and projects in our region. This discussion will also include the
stark reality of achieving the promises made to voters in the face
of declining sales tax revenues, lack of political will to increase the
fuel tax or change how we fund our highways and transit systems.

Public health impacts are an issue of growing concern in
connection with infrastructure projects, including those that serve
the movement of goods such as the Long Beach Freeway (I-710).
This vital transportation artery links the Ports of Long Beach and
Los Angeles to major Southern California distribution centers and
intermodal rail facilities. Due to population growth, increased
cargo and traffic volumes, coupled with an aging infrastructure,
the I-710 experiences serious congestion and safety issues. An
environmental impact study is underway to analyze the range
of possible improvement alternatives for the corridor. The panel
will provide an opportunity for an exchange between the project
sponsor and community/health representatives to address
issues including: 1) What are and should be the expectations of
each stakeholder? 2) Are they mutually exclusive? 3) How have
expectations been managed? and 4) What have been the success
and horror stories so far?

Technology and Transportation: How New Technologies are Decreasing Costs, Increasing Transportation Facility Life Cycles and Saving Taxpayers Money

Sponsored by Hatch Mott MacDonald
Historical methods of constructing, managing and
maintaining transportation infrastructure — many of which remain
in use today — are not withstanding the test of time. The result:
a staggering and seemingly ever-growing financial burden on
taxpayers as these structures age and require expensive repairs or
replacement. Come learn how commercially-available technologies
are being employed to solve the crisis. Experts from the public,
private and academic sectors will discuss the operational and
financial challenges as well as opportunities to utilize new
construction materials and IT-driven solutions that can reduce
costs and substantially extend infrastructure service life.
