Routes To Opportunity - Connecting Equity and Transportation | UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium 2019

Except for walks in the park, cruising on Saturday night, and Sunday drives, transportation is a means to an end – to jobs, groceries, health care, friends. Transportation, quality of life and the ability to access opportunities are inextricably linked and unequally distributed, with policies often failing to consider the growing inequality faced by people living in California's diverse regions.

The 2019 UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium on Transportation – Land Use – Environment will tackle the complex and intertwined relationships among transportation, economic development, poverty and mobility. The focus will range from the challenges faced by carless single moms in the suburbs, to the role of ports and airports in regional economies. We encourage all who seek to address transportation equity in their work, either through research, policy, planning or community engagement, to attend the 2019 UCLA Arrowhead Symposium.

Each fall the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium convenes a diverse group of influential policymakers, private sector stakeholders, public sector analysts, consultants, advocates, and researchers to delve into the pressing public policy challenges related to the transportation - land use - environment connection. The symposium’s location in the San Bernardino Mountains affords attendees a reflective setting to contemplate, discuss, debate and return to their organizations with informed thinking on the latest research and most innovative new practices from around California and the globe.

FAQs & Policies:

What is the refund policy?

Once you register, we pay for you to attend even if you cancel. Thus, in most cases we cannot offer a refund. We may be able to offer refunds on a case-by-case basis through Monday, September 30th.

Your registration is transferable, and you can change the name on your registration until October 11, 2019 by logging into Eventbrite and clicking your order on the Tickets page. Note that this doesn't change payment responsibility from the original registrant. If you change the name of your registration, please notify us at arrowhead@uclaarrowheadsymposium.org

What lodging accommodations will be provided?

Included in the registration is the lodging for two nights and meals (Sunday Dinner - Tuesday Lunch). Lodging at the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center are semi-private cabins (condolets). Your condolet will be shared with another symposium attendee. You may request a suitemate by indicating so during the registration process. Some condolets have an open-door bedroom plan and others have a closed-door bedroom plan. Most condolets are two-story units with each level having a queen bed and full bathroom. A downstairs living room parlor with sleeper sofa, work desk and fireplace separates the two guest rooms. Due to room availability, we cannot accommodate requests for specific bedroom plans.

May I request a suitemate?

Yes, you can request a suitemate (that we hope is mutually agreed on) during the registration process. Our policy is to pair suitemates of the same gender unless otherwise requested. We will do our best to pair attendees from the same organization but this is not guaranteed.

Is smoking allowed in the buildings?

The UCLA Lake Arrowhead Conference Center is a smoke-free property. Due to this, we will be required to bill a smoking fee during the symposium or post check-out to guests who will be participating in smoking activities in the rooms during the symposium or post check-out.

Can I request dietary meal preferences?

Yes. You will indicate your dietary preferences during the registration process. The conference center will do its best to accommodate most meal preferences (vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan, etc.).

May I request a specific room at the conference center?

Please let us know during the registration process if you have a mobility issue and need to be housed in a room close to the main conference. The conference center will do its best to accommodate requests based on availability and medical needs; however, these accommodations are not guaranteed.

Can anyone register to attend?

This event is invitation-only. Attendees must receive a nomination to attend. Please enter nominees on this form. UCLA reserves the right to cancel attendee registration if they were not nominated to attend.

Can I invite an additional person to attend and stay in my room?

No. All attendees and guests must be registered to attend the conference and stay as a guest at the conference center. UCLA reserves the right to cancel attendee registration if they were not nominated to attend and to ask non-registered guests to leave the premises.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

We will arrange for a shared shuttle service to and from Ontario Airport. If you are interested in this service, please purchase the ground transportation package during registration. We will confirm shuttle logistics, one week prior to the event. Parking is located directly in front of the conference center.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No. We support paperless activities when we can get away with it. No need to print out your ticket.

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?

No. All attendee names must match the registered conference guest names. If you need to transfer your registration, you may do so by clicking your order on the Tickets page until Friday, October 11, 2019.

Can I update my registration information?

You can update the information on your order (such as name, email address, or answers to the organizer's questions) by clicking your order on the Tickets page until Friday, October 11, 2019.
