Sustainable Transportation Forum - MORPC Friday

This Friday (04 May 2012), MORPC is hosting an educational forum: Shifting Behavior Towards Sustainable Transportation Options.

The Forum will feature Dr. Joe Heimlich from THE Ohio State University School of Environmental & Natural Resources, Lynn Robinson from MORPC RideSolutions and Scott Varner of Transit Columbus as they try to answer some important questions:

How can we free ourselves from high gas prices & lonely commutes?

How can we shift our attitudes and behaviors towards sustainable transportation practices?

What options are available for getting around?

This will be a part of MORPC's Five Days of Freedom program that just launched in the final week of April that encourages residents of Central Ohio to commit to just 5 days of getting around using a transit option other than driving solo.

Starting at 10:00am and running until 11:30, the Forum will be held at MORPC's Scioto Conference Room at their downtown HQ located at 111 Liberty Street, Suite 100, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

MORPC Announces Director Chester Jourdan's Resignation

According to a MORPC Press RELEASE:

MORPC announces the resignation of its Executive Director Chester R. Jourdan, Jr.  Mr. Jourdan’s resignation will be effective April 1, 2012. Mr. Jourdan is resigning due to  family reasons and plans to relocate to Texas to be closer to family.

I think that Chester Jourdan has done an incredible job serving as the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission's Executive Director, and I, for one offer him my very best wishes as he continues on his career and life path.
