SUMMARY:VTC Distinguished Lecture--Overbuilt: The High Costs and Low Rewards of US Highway Construction
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Erick Guerra will explore how America’s infrastructure legacy continues to shape our transportation future. Drawing from his new book\, Overbuilt: The High Costs and Low Rewards of US Highway Construction\, he will examine how the Interstate Highway System set the stage for decades of policy favoring excessive road construction. His talk will unpack how outdated metrics and rigid funding structures continue to influence transportation decisions—and what’s needed to create a more balanced\, sustainable approach. \nDr. Guerra is a Professor of Regional Planning and Associate Dean for Research at the University of Pennsylvania’s Weitzman School. His research focuses on the intersections of land use\, transportation\, and public health. \nAttendees will have a chance to win one of 10 signed copies of the book! \nJoin us at 4:30 PM for a reception with light refreshments. \nLecture begins at 5:00 PM. \nRSVP HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vtc-distinguished-lecture-with-erick-guerra-phd-tickets-1564007782379?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Filling the Gaps: Infill for Transit Connected Communities -- a TOD in Your Downtown Forum
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by NJTOD\, the Transit Friendly Newsletter of NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friendly Planning (TFP) Program\, this forum will explore infill development in New Jersey’s transit-connected communities. \nPanelists from public agencies\, municipal government\, and the private sector will share strategies for building on vacant or underutilized sites near transit—including surface parking lots\, brownfields\, and other parcels with untapped potential. \nThe discussion will highlight how infill projects can strengthen walkability\, add housing and amenities\, and foster vibrant\, transit-supportive neighborhoods while earning community support. Case studies will range from small-scale residential projects to larger mixed-use\, mixed-income developments\, offering real-world lessons on leveraging sites well-positioned for transit access. \nAttendees will hear directly from developers\, municipal leaders\, and other stakeholders on practical approaches to addressing New Jersey’s housing needs through sustainable\, transit-oriented development. The session will conclude with audience Q&A. \n2.0 AICP CM credits. \nREGISTER HERE
