Do you think anyone would be interested in a session on developing cross-sector partnerships or performance measurement for different transportation options? Don't hesitate to say no if that is your opinion.

I work in mobility management and about one-third of the members of the Partnership for Mobility Management work at planning agencies.

Thanks,
Sheryl
