Annie Fryman from SPUR introduces a digital discussion on the San Francisco Active Communities Plan, which aims to make the city more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable. She encourages viewers to join SPUR and support their work, and announces an in-person program scheduled for the next day on equitable bike access in San Francisco. Fryman explains that the city's goal is to have 80% of trips made via low-carbon modes by 2023, and that the Active Communities Plan is meant to make bicycles and other low-carbon trips safe, accessible, and preferable for all. The plan is a community-driven approach to encouraging mode shift, and Fryman introduces the speakers for the discussion, including Christopher Kidd from SFMTA, Daniel Rodriguez from UC Berkeley, Shada Sullivan from SFMTA, and Mia Birk from Alta Planning and Design. Christopher Kidd takes over, introducing himself as the project manager for the Active Communities Plan, and notes that the city has not had an updated bicycle master plan since 2009, and that much has changed since then, including the introduction of new transportation modes and technologies.
