Sustainable Transportation: Why it’s good for Downtown
This year, Downtown Partnership celebrates 25 years of collaboration and
active engagement in Downtown Baltimore. As a result of over two decades of
close partnership, the Business Over Breakfast series has become an
effective platform for formulating an agenda to further Downtown Baltimore’s
growth.
Following Downtown Partnership’s Annual Meeting in September, the Business
Over Breakfast will offer a unique opportunity for key stakeholders to have
a dialogue with transportation experts to discuss the use and connection of
sustainable methods of urban mobility such as biking, walking, car sharing,
and public transportation like the circulator and water taxi.
Urban mobility is rarely satisfied by a single mode of transportation. Most
trips involve a number of elements, like links in a chain – if any link is
incomplete, the whole chain is broken. It is therefore important to think of
Downtown Baltimore’s transportation in this way: looking not at improving
just one mode of transport in isolation, but at improving and connecting all
aspects of Downtown’s transportation options.
With Downtown at the center of most transportation activity, we will also
discuss how urban transportation impacts companies and their employees, the
livelihoods and lifestyles of residents and the economic vibrancy of
Downtown. In this context, the goal of the breakfast is to address the
opportunities and challenges that will need to be tackled to help improve
and connect Downtown’s sustainable transportation to further future growth.
