There will be two presentations:

1. WisDOT’s ArcGIS Non-Driver Tool with Ethan Severson, Strategic Initiatives Officer, Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Linking census data with driver licenses, this exciting new tool from WisDOT lets users find estimates of the proportion of a specific population that may be non-driver.

2. Campaign to Save Public Transit presented by Denton Worker, Denton, Texas. Denton Worker, a grassroots worker group, is fighting their local transit authority’s plan to replace public fixed-route buses with “on-demand” microtransit operated by Via.
