DESCRIPTION: SPUR's Quarterly Book Club provides a unique opportunity to explore books that intersect with our core policy areas, all while engaging directly with the authors behind the ideas. This winter, we're excited to host transportation expert Jarrett Walker for a lively discussion of his newly updated and expanded work, Human Transit: Revised Edition.\n\nTransportation expert Jarrett Walker believes that transit can be simple, if we focus on the underlying geometry that all transit systems share. Jarrett’s gift is being able to break down the basic principles of public transit so that you may have the tools necessary to clarify and advocate for your own values.\nIn 2011, Jarrett published what became a classic for sustainable transportation advocates, Human Transit. Today, he’s releasing his updated and expanded book to further deepen his initial explanations. The content moves into new territories, such as the problem with specialization; the role of flexible or “demand response” services; how to know when to redesign your network; and responding to tech-industry claims that transit will soon be obsolete. Additionally, a major new section exploring the idea of access to opportunity as a core measure of transit’s success has also been added.\nJoin Jarrett Walker as he talked about his new book, Human Transit, Revised Edition and offers guidance to achieve successful public transit that will enrich any community. \n\nUse the Code WEBINAR for 30% off from Island Press.\n\nFor details, click here: https://spur.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/component/events/event/404
