Peter Katz - Mobility Today

Peter Katz is the CEO of SmartGO which helps to advance car-optional communities and transportation choices that are more sustainable. It supports policies that promote more equitable and effective transportation options and a physical environment that’s safer and more conducive to walking, biking and the use of public transit.

Peter is an expert in placemaking, and is now using his deep knowledge to explore better approaches to getting around. He has seen it all, believe me.  He has over a quarter century of experience in city design and he understands all the interconnected systems—including transportation—that enable great places to flourish.

In addition to his work as an advocate for New Urbanism and new, better mobility options, Peter has consulted for a range of nonprofit, governmental and private sector clients, here in the US, and abroad. He’s also served as a city planner in California, Florida and Virginia. 

Have you ever wondered why public transit doesn’t work in the US?

Would you like to know about “car-optional” living? ...and the ways that it might improve your community?

Is there an app that may one day get Americans out of their cars, and into more sustainable ways of getting around, such as public transit, walking or biking?
