Seattle Climate Tech: Oct 28 - 11/3
Take time to dig into the future of transportation and then get tips on writing about it--check out our events!
Hi Climate Community,
Do we really need more cars here? No? Check out the transportation panel this week, and as the weather cools off maybe it’s time to write the next big “cli-fi” novel or short story so check out the writers’ community near you (at 9Zero).
As always, scroll down for the full list of upcoming events.
Cheers,
~ Jason

Moderated by Daniel Poppe with the Seattle & Bellevue 2030 Districts, this conversation will bring together leaders from across the transportation landscape to discuss topics like transit-oriented development (TOD), transportation demand management (TDM), road usage charging, freight mobility, and regional preparedness for large-scale events like the 2026 World Cup.
