In this episode of In Motion, we dive into the powerful connection between housing and transportation. We’re joined by Meg Padjen from the Wasatch Front Regional Council in Utah and COMPASS Assistant Planner Alexa Roitman, who bring their expertise to the table.

Meg shares how WFRC has become involved in housing policy, the technical tools communities rely on, emerging housing trends, and the many ways planning decisions ripple across a region. Together, our guests highlight why housing and transportation can’t be viewed in isolation—and what it means for the future of growing communities.

This episode was split into two parts, the next part will be published soon!
