SPUR’s Transit+Design Workshops will provide a space to learn about research and design tools that help you create a great transit user experience. We will learn from some of the transit experience small wins from around the Bay Area region. The workshops will explore ideas from the morning’s event at Commonwealth Club on empowering the region’s transit.

Workshops will be at SPUR Urban Center (654 Mission) from 2pm -5pm on Tuesday March 31 followed by a networking reception at 5 pm and fast-paced, high energy presentations at 6pm. For more information on the evening events, please click here.
