    In 2010, I attended the Transportation and Transit class that Earl founded. It’s now run by Rick Gustafson, who has held many important positions in the Portland area–including Executive Director of Portland Streetcar, Inc. Rick has many guest speakers come in to class, but the most memorable one was the one who kicked off the tour of previous student projects–Earl Blumenauer. I highly recommend the class!

    Nice piece from you Carolyn! I am so happy for you with the wealth of experience gained from the conference. It feels so good to have such. I am also a planner with an MSc in urban planning. My areas are on spatial planning, land use, corridor and TOD. I would appreciate that you link me up with similar conference/workshop. I had applied for the transit academy workshop in Denver which had a scholarship for the tuition fee. I was successful but could not fund my trip to the States due to accommodation and feeding as I live in South Africa. Can you help me?

    Thanks so much.

      Ikenna,
      I hope you don’t mind that I corrected your punctuation and added a word or two that you may have left out. I’ve sent your comment on to Carolyn, who is an undergraduate student at the University of Washington. She may be able to put you in touch with the right people at RailVolution re: scholarships. They do offer accommodation with a local host and they could probably help with food while you were at the conference. But I doubt they can offer an international flight. You might have to do some fundraising there in South Africa.
