Transportation, climate resilience, and public health are deeply intertwined — and understanding the connection between them is essential for building thriving, livable communities in the 21st Century. At TRB 2023, Greg Rogers sat down with Carlos Cruz-Casas, the Chief Innovation Officer at Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works. Carlos and Greg covered a wide range of topics, including: • Opportunities to encourage mode shift through right-sizing transit and offering a wider range of mobility options. • Why climate resilience and heat adaptation are essential for building multimodal options and achieving Vision Zero goals. (Featuring a discussion of Miami’s indoor bus stop with A/C!) • Why Miami-Dade County appointed the first Chief Heat Officer for an American city. • How to build local support and have the political courage to push for change.

This week there is a strong focus on innovation and creating systems that help everyone have a better, a more dignified experience, as Roman put it, taking transit. From new seamless payment solutions at TriMet, steering the agency through the COVID-19 pandemic in Maryland, or connecting city and county transportation systems in Miami-Dade, each of these leaders tell us their stories and demonstrate why they are part of this prestigious group of transit leaders.
