FAST | Reimagining Traffic in New York City

While no one has ever used the word “fast” to describe New York City’s traffic, an urban transformation is now underway that promises to roll back years of congestion and smog. Join leading transportation engineer and former NYC Traffic Commissioner Samuel Schwartz, aka “Gridlock Sam,” who will share his insights on how we can speed traffic, improve our transit system, and make the city safer and healthier for all. He’ll delve into the history of transportation in the U.S., especially NYC, explaining where we’ve been, where we are, and where we are going – if we are smart. Schwartz’s new book is Street Smart: The Rise of Cities and The Fall of Cars (2015).
