The Future of Transportation
The average Southern Californian wastes 100 hours per year stuck in traffic. With a population expected to grow by an additional 4 million people over the next 25 years, the challenge grows with each passing day.
The 20/20 Network works with the leading transportation agencies in the region to engage stakeholders around how best to address our mobility and sustainability challenges.
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG): Since 2011, 20/20 has partnered with the nation’s largest regional planning organization to create a meaningful conversation around SoCal’s transportation challenges and solutions. We’ve managed communications around SCAG’s three most recent regional transportation plans, helped generate broad support around more than $500 billion in long-term mobility improvements and developed persuasive messaging around the alignment between transportation, land use and economic development.
Freight Can’t Wait: We’ve worked closely with SCAG, the Alameda Corridor-East Construction Authority (ACE), the Coalition for America’s Gateways and Trade Corridors (CAGTC), Inland Economic Growth and Opportunity (IEGO) and others to shine a light on the importance of goods movement to Southern California’s long-term future. Our work is strategic – not just telling a story, but an intentional process of engaging stakeholders and building a collaborative narrative that effectively makes the case for additional investment in infrastructure and clean-air technology.
Redlands Passenger Rail: When the Arrow hybrid-rail service launches between Redlands and San Bernardino in the early 2020s, it will represent more than the next-generation of passenger trains, but another example of the region’s emergence as a clean-air innovation hub. Working with the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA), 20/20 is helping to demonstrate how the Arrow line is a more efficient and less expensive alternative to a decades-old plan to expand light rail service into the region.
Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC): Ventura County desperately needs the kind of funding a transportation sales tax could generate, but has been resistant to go there. Working with VCTC, 20/20 has been building support – at a grassroots levels and through a laser-focused media campaign – for a future tax measure to improve and expand infrastructure, reduce congestion and increase public safety.
Ontario International Airport (ONT): It’s a great story, and we’re thrilled to tell it – a mid-sized airport returns to local control and within two years is America’s fastest-growing aviation gateway. In addition to serving as ONT’s media representative, 20/20 has helped build and lead the Ontario Airport Roundtable, comprised of some of the top business and policy leaders in the region with the common goal of supporting the airport’s emergence as an economic catalyst.
