The schedule for Meeting of the Minds is all day Wednesday, July 30 (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and most of Thursday, July 31 (8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.)

The program will consider a range of factors that now confront the transportation system.  Meeting of the Minds will explore and promote active discussion about several “key ideas” that could reshape how one innovative place (the Portland region) thinks about and positions its transportation future.

 At the core, this program will focus on three broad questions:

• What will our transportation model need to look like (and how must it perform) in the future to address the complex mix of 21st century challenges we now face?
• How is that model different from today’s installed base and conventional practices?
• What are the implications that must be addressed now?
