In 2016, Seattle drivers were delayed an average of 55 hours at peak times, ranking the city 20th in the world for traffic congestion--and it's the fastest-growing big city in the US. Join Mamie Marcuss, Director of Programs for Challenge Seattle and former Chief of Staff for the Washington State Attorney General, as she discusses private sector investment in this critical regional issue. Drawing from her extensive career working on public policy issues, Mamie will share information about the work that Challenge Seattle is doing to unite local businesses with UW researchers and create a more sustainable transportation system. This free event is part of the transportation-focused seminar series sponsored by the Center for Collaborative Systems for Security, Safety, and Regional Resilience (CoSSaR).
