Maya Rosas is director of policy at the advocacy organization Circulate San Diego. In this episode, Maya discusses how Circulate successfully made the case for converting transit station parking lots into new housing. Last year, the momentum continued, with the San Diego city government reducing parking requirements near frequent transit stops. Maya shares her advocacy tactics and describes how Circulate uses research to cultivate relationships with decision makers and change public policy.
“When we’re advocating for something, we’re not doing it for the prestige of us being able to claim a win, but because we want to see that change happen...and embrace the decision-makers, whether it be MTS or City Council.” - Maya Rosas
