How do we think big about the future of transportation when we’re still struggling to fund the basics like fixing potholes, maintaining sidewalks, or adding a bench at a bus stop? How can we plan for high-speed rail to Canada when many kids in Oregon still don’t have a safe sidewalk from their school to the park? This session will dig into how we balance ambition with reality, and what it takes to build the partnerships, political will, and advocacy ecosystem strong enough to tackle both. We'll explore what we can do today to meet immediate needs while keeping long-term visions in sight so our future residents inherit a system that works for everyone.
