	"description": "Transit must be planned as a network in order to have a seamless system that gets people where they need to go conveniently and reliably. This has been difficult in the Bay Area due to fragmentation with 27 transit agencies and 101 city and county jurisdictions. At this event, we&#x27;ll hear from panelists Andy Kosinski (Fehr &amp;amp; Peers), Britt Thesen Tanner (MTC), and Michael Rhodes (SFMTA) about the steps the Bay Area has taken towards more coordinated service. Importantly we&#x27;ll also learn about the &quot;service-led planning” model – where transit is planned as a network guided primarily by access goals – and how it can make transit significantly more convenient and cost-effective. Event co-hosted by Seamless Bay Area and SPUR. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Panelist Bios Andy Kosinski is a Senior Associate and leads Fehr &amp;amp; Peers’ Oakland office. A transit planner by training, he has worked in London, Chicago, and the Bay Area since 2008. Andy’s work focuses on how transit and land use reinforce each other and how good transit can shape better places to live, and he gets to impact this through working for cities, developer clients, and agencies including BART, VTA, and MTC. He’s a longtime city enthusiast who cares about how cities work for people at every stage of life. Andy also leads the AI Working Group at Fehr &amp;amp; Peers. Britt Thesen Tanner leads MTC’s Transit Priority initiatives, focused on making transit faster and more reliable by rethinking the design of regional streets. Before joining MTC, Britt spent over 20 years as a Transit Engineer for the City of San Francisco, where she oversaw the planning and design of Muni Forward projects. Her extensive experience developing and delivering projects at the local level now informs her work shaping regional transit priority policies and grant programs. Michael Rhodes is the Transit Priority Manager at the SFMTA. He leads a matrix team of planners, engineers and outreach staff to deliver transit reliability improvements in San Francisco. Prior to joining the SFMTA in 2015, he worked for Nelson\Nygaard on a variety of transit, parking management and TDM projects.",
