Let’s celebrate International Women’s Day 2020 with the women at SFMTA who are breaking public engagement records in transit planning!
Women are redefining transit by engaging thousands of stakeholders in planning the future of North America’s transit systems. On March 4th, join Adrienne Heim and Tracey Lin from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to learn exactly how they exceeded agency expectations by engaging 8,100 residents, collecting meaningful public input to build a data-driven transit extension study!
This webinar will celebrate the many influential women working across the country to engage the public in planning more effective and accessible transit systems, with a spotlight on best practices at SFMTA.

Adrienne Heim and Tracey Lin did an excellent job ``tag-teaming`` the presentation, delivering a lot of information in a short period of time. Good use of charts and graphs. Their success at deploying the MetroQuest platform for their surveys was clearly evident in the results achieved..
This was a well done webinar. Thank you for focusing on the accomplishments of women.
It's fantastic to see women working on solving issues that pertain not only to our communities as a whole, but pertaining directly to serving other women. I'm involved with WTS which is a women in transportation professional association... We've come a long way! Thanks for providing AICP credit to highlight women.
It was a great presentation (clear presentation material, very thorough and concise information presented, nice touch with being able to see the speakers). I appreciate the ``congratulations`` to women in the field.
