2006 Public Policy Summit

Transportation and Transit Issues in Scottsdale:

The Perfect Ride or the Perfect Storm?

Is Scottsdale ready

 for this discussion and the consequences of such choices?

Is the business community

the right group to carry the flag for improving transportation?

Will the political will surface

 to make the difficult decisions needed to address

Scottsdale’s future needs?

What have other communities

around the country done to address this growing problem?

Join us as our guest panel will examine these issues important to the business community and the community at large, providing an engaging forum for discussion and debate.
