Dear Friends, I am honored to welcome you to for the National Association of City Transportation Officials’ annual Designing Cities Conference. L.A. is a unique city with 4 million diverse, creative, and passionate people and one of the largest economies of any city in the world. I know you will enjoy yourself as you explore our iconic streets and landmarks. NACTO comes to L.A. at a pivotal moment. Across the nation, cities are leading the way in a great transportation renaissance. Following core principles of accessibility, equity, safety, and sustainability, cities are building and expanding transit systems, creating livable communities, making safer streets, and harnessing technology to improve quality of life. This is a time unlike any other in the history of transportation. I am proud of L.A.’s progress in reimagining the way we get around, as we cast off our infamous reputation as the car capital of the world. We are investing $120 billion in transportation over the next 40 years, starting with four transit megaprojects already under construction. At the same time, Vision Zero has brought a whole new approach to the way we incorporate safety into the operation of our streets, and signature projects like MyFigueroa are creating healthier, more vibrant communities by providing active transportation options. Moreover, we are eagerly working to deploy technology-based transportation and other new mobility services equitably so that all will benefit. As L.A. looks toward the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, I know our future is bright. Designing Cities will allow us to share our experiences and learn from our peers and experts from all across the country. This is an opportunity to absorb ideas and find innovative solutions together to create a transportation future that benefits every NACTO city. This is a great time to be on the move in L.A. We’re excited to have you join us!

Eric Garcetti Mayor of Los Angeles

2 3 Welcome to the City of Angels for the seventh Designing Cities conference! We are honored that you’ve chosen to spend four days here celebrating big wins, tackling shared challenges, and finding ways large and small to make sure cities are at the table shaping the future of mobility. We are proud to host lucky number seven! Designing Cities remains the premier venue for cities’ top minds in transportation. The professional generosity of this community remains its most potent strength. Your willingness to share your insights, best practices, and questions delivers value that ripples out across the country. From designing safe streets, to creating vibrant public spaces, to building the right tools to ensure that new technology expresses our values, the conversations we have here shape the future of cities. This year, nearly 1,000 leaders from over 150 cities around the world are gathered in L.A. to build better streets and more equitable, sustainable cities.

City transportation faces very real challenges. Traffic fatalities remain a tragic norm in the U.S., topping 35,000 deaths for the second year in a row. The legacy of systemic racism in the way our cities took shape continues to prevent equitable access to opportunities for all our neighborhoods. With these challenges come new opportunities if we are willing to do the work. Emerging mobility technologies are changing the way people get around in cities and coast to coast, DOTs are diving into data to optimize street performance, even while we get back to the basics of building complete walking, biking, and transit networks. As the transportation planning landscape shifts, L.A. seeks to lead by example. Aiming to eliminate traffic deaths by 2025, we are transforming streets across the city. Once infamous as L.A.’s most dangerous pedestrian area, the intersection of Hollywood and Highland is now an icon of pedestrian and transit-centered design. In August, MyFigueroa transformed one of the city’s busiest corridors into a complete, multimodal street. L.A. is also making strides in the world of transportation technology, following a strategic plan to build a transit network for the digital age. We couldn’t be more eager to share these efforts with you to improve them and learn from you. Just like the cities we inhabit, Designing Cities is made great by its people. This year, nearly 1,000 leaders from over 150 cities around the world are gathered in L.A. to build better streets and more equitable, sustainable cities. Please join me in welcoming one another and taking this time to strengthen our network as we continue to change the status quo for city transportation.

Seleta Reynolds General Manager, Los Angeles Department of Transportation 4 NACTO President 5 Dear NACTO Members, Thank you all for choosing to gather in Los Angeles at a very fortuitous moment in our history. LA Metro is in the early stages of the nation’s largest transit expansion. Four rail transit projects are currently under construction and more than a dozen road, rail and bus rapid transit projects will break ground in the next few years. For decades we have been the nation’s car capital. Now we are finally giving Angelenos some truly great alternatives to driving. At Metro, we are pursuing many strategies for helping people get around the County. In the past, Metro primarily saw its mission as running buses and trains. No more. We have embraced a more holistic attitude toward mobility. We are exploring on-demand transportation services, building affordable housing and communities near transit, and revamping our bus network to reflect modern travel patterns. For decades we have We are increasingly involved in first-last mile issues and our bike been the nation’s car share program will soon allow capital. Now we are people to transfer for free between finally giving Angelenos buses, bikes and trains. We are committed to getting people where some truly great they’re going quickly and easily. alternatives to driving. I am grateful and proud that Designing Cities chose to gather this year in Los Angeles. I wish everyone an informative and fruitful conference. And my thanks to you, the members of NACTO, for helping to keep America moving! "The city of the future won’t create itself—we need to imagine, design and build it today. We have all the technical experience, real-world examples and technological possibilities we need to make people- Sheila Kuehl focused streets, and we must take the decisive action now to make them Los Angeles County Supervisor a reality."

But transforming our transportation systems requires thinking bigger than the street, the block, or the corridor—streets are the lever to build places where every person in every neighborhood has the freedom to move throughout the city without relying on a car."
