The Seattle Department of Transportation is hosting its first-ever Youth Transportation Summit on Saturday, December 9, 2023. Young people aged 14 to 24 years old are invited to participate in this free event to share their personal experiences with transportation, highlight what they’d like to see changed in the future, and discuss opportunities for climate-responsive transportation investments.
This is a free event where young people’s voices will be centered and culminate in a Youth Climate & Transportation Action Plan that will be presented to Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell. The summit is happening in response to Mayor Harrell’s Climate Justice Executive Order issued last Winter and will build on the momentum of recent wins such as statewide implementation of free youth transit and ask youth the pivotal question: “What’s next?” Lunch will be provided at no cost.
