Distinguished Transportation Speaker Series #3
Mobility, Land Use and the Capital Area
Featuring Sam Staley, author of The Road More Traveled: Why the Congestion Crisis Matters More Than You Think and What We Can Do About It. Dr. Staley is the director of urban and land use policy at Reason Foundation and the co-author of “The Road More Traveled: Why the Congestion Crisis Matters More Than You Think and What We Can Do About It.” His professional articles have appeared in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Journal of the American Planning Association, Capital University Law Review, Urban Land, Planning magazine, and many others.
Staley's previous book, Smarter Growth: Market-based Strategies for Land-use Planning in the 21st Century (Greenwood Press, 2001), was called the "most thorough challenge yet to regional land-use plans" by Planning magazine. Staley's approach to urban development and policy blends more than 20 years of experience as an economic development consultant, academic researcher, urban policy analyst, and community leader. Governing and Planning magazines have identified him as one of the nation's foremost critics of conventional smart growth and a leader in developing practical, market-oriented alternatives.
