Janette Sadik-Khan is one of the world’s foremost authorities on transportation and urban transformation. Her keynote address is titled Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution.
She served as New York City’s transportation commissioner from 2007 to 2013 under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, overseeing historic changes to the city’s streets—closing Broadway to cars in Times Square, building nearly 400 miles of bike lanes and seven rapid bus lines, launching the largest bike share program in North America and creating more than 60 plazas citywide.
A founding principal with Bloomberg Associates, she works with mayors around the world to reimagine and redesign their cities. She chairs the National Association of Transportation Officials, implementing new, people-focused street design standards, including the Global Street Design Guide, which has been adopted by 66 cities and organizations around the world.
She is the author of Streetfight: Handbook for an Urban Revolution, and every Moving People Forward attendee will receive a copy of the book as part of their registration. Moving People Forward marks Sadik-Khan’s first time speaking in Colorado.

Bringing Transportation Demand Management Solutions to Diverse Communities
Presented by eGo CarShare

Connecting the Cities of Tomorrow

Cities on the Move: Case Studies in Building Active Transportation Networks (Fast!) in Austin, Houston and New Orleans
Presented by Dero Bike Racks
Cities around the country are seeking to create connected, high-comfort active transportation networks to encourage mode shift and to reap the associated benefits. This presentation will profile three case studies: Houston has $10 million to spend on on-street bike infrastructure and is quickly designing; Austin voters approved $720 million in bonds in 2016 for transportation and the City has already made rapid progress. New Orleans just began a project to plan and design 50 to 75 miles of new bike facilities in the next year. Learn about each city’s approach and results to freshen your thinking on how to quickly implement better networks for bicyclists and pedestrians.
