Move LA Hosts the CA Transportation Secretary
We had a fantastic opportunity to engage with California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin on the Future of Transportation in California. Our event was hosted by Lendistry and the nonprofit the Center by Lendistry.
We were joined by Senator Josh Newman, CATC Commissioner Michele C. Martinez, Costa Mesa Councilmembers Jeffrey Harlan and Arlis Reynolds, Huntington Beach Councilman Dan Kalmick, Irvine Mayor's Chief of Staff Mariam Tariq and the State Building & Construction Trades Council of California President and LA/OC Building & Construction Trades Executive Secretary Ernesto Medrano. We appreciate the support and partnership of advocates from Streets for All and Costa Mesa Alliance for Better Streets. We talked about saving lives with safer streets, creating good paying jobs, building clean infrastructure, more equitable and multi-modal transportation, and our vision to "Move SoCal" including major funding for Metrolink and our transit systems. Secretary Omishakin is a true ally and leader, and we were honored to have him share the afternoon with us!
