@USCPrice TY for the invite to speak about @CCTA Innovation program to provide Trans options for all Contra Costans.

Think about where you can position your career to continue to support the values of democracy, fraternity, liberty, and justice. #BAPF2017

(#SwashLock combines showers, washers, and lockers for homeless individuals, and is now also connected to job services) #BAPF2017

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

An example of a civic/social innovation success: #SwashLock in Santa Monica, advocated by homeless individuals on library internet forums

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

What's the impact of innovation on labor and jobs? This has implications for our education systems, government, AND businesses. @JulietMusso

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Her first innovation project was on municipal websites, which were used more for good management than for good democracy. @JulietMusso

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Local service feedback is used more by middle and higher income individuals from neighborhoods that are more advantaged. @JulietMusso

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Cities have different responsibilities. Economic development, public services, arena of local democracy. @JulietMusso #BAPF2017

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Let's not forget the civic part of civic innovation. Civitas: collectivity of citizens bound together by a common contract. @JulietMusso

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Closing remarks from Prof. @JulietMusso, who embodies the best of both the MPP and MPA worlds. #BAPF2017

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Answer (1) from @lyft: drivers who use hybrids earn more because they spend less on gas. #BAPF2017

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Another great question: what's the responsibility of private companies like @Lyft in mitigating the GHGs and air toxins of driver fleets?

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

It's no longer weird to have someone in public health working for a transit agency. @SPUR_Urbanist policy associate Arielle Fleisher

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Answer from @lyft public policy director @annabelrchang: there will be a new need for human riders who are trained caregivers. #BAPF2017

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Great audience question: how will AVs work for elderly individuals who have mental or physical disabilities and need human help on rides?

@USCPrice #BAPF2017 transportation panel w/ @remix @lyft & @SPUR_Urbanist

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

L.A. has visionary leaders who are pursuing innovative transit planning. @SPUR_Urbanist @USCPrice #BAPF2017

[USC BAPF @BAPF_2017]

Easing the regulatory burden of Title VI reporting for small transit agencies is important for equity planning. @remix #BAPF2017
