On March 2nd, ATP and Metro presented the salon, In Her Shoes: Women in a Car-Free LA From Using The System To Running It at Maker City in Downtown Los Angeles. The event brought together a group of transit officials, riders, policy experts and other interested parties to share resources and information and talk about what can be done so that more people—women, in particular—would feel more empowered to opt for car-free travel.
While the ATP and Metro-sponsored event focused on safety issues, the panelists—led by advocate, actress and ATP founder Stana Katic—also talked about their personal stories of car-free travel and living; discussed upcoming Metro projects; the use of technology; millennials’ attitudes toward public transportation; the health benefits of car-free travel and, most importantly, resources to share and ways the public can get involved to improve the transportation system in Los Angeles.
