Randal O’Toole is a Cato Institute Senior Fellow working on urban growth, public land, and transportation issues. O’Toole’s research on national forest management, culminating in his 1988 book, Reforming the Forest Service, has had a major influence on Forest Service policy and on-the-ground management. His analysis of urban land-use and transportation issues, brought together in his 2001 book, The Vanishing Automobile and Other Urban Myths, has influenced decisions in cities across the country. In his book The Best-Laid Plans, O’Toole calls for repealing federal, state, and local planning laws and proposes reforms that can help solve social and environmental problems without heavy-handed government regulation.

Thursday, September 4, 2014
6-7 PM: Social/Dinner
7-8 PM: Presentation
PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN LOCATION,
WE WILL BE MEETING AT:
Old San Francisco Steakhouse
The Swing Room
10223 Sahara Dr., San Antonio, TX 78216
It is very important that you and others in the community have a deep understanding of transportation policy and how the federal, state, and local governments – through “Smart Growth” strategies – are attempting to change the way we live and travel. Randal’s book is extremely well-documented and will change the way you think about transportation. Smart Growth must be stopped and a more liberty-oriented model put in place.
