Dear Loren, Heritage is planning on holding a conference on transportation innovation featuring Mario Loyola from Heritage, David Quinalty from Waymo, and Vincent Tang (head of ARPA-I) from USOT. I am the moderator. The goal of the conference is to promote the case to the policy community for faster transportation innovation to benefit the general public and to keep America ahead of China. Here is the link: Paving the Way for Transportation Innovation. Is there any objection to opening to conference to an outside audience for virtual attendance? I am asking because when Vincent Tang accepted he thought that it was by invitation only, not open to virtual participation, and we had envisaged it as being also online. All best, Diana Diana Furchtgott-Roth Director, Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment and The Herbert and Joyce Morgan Fellow in Energy and Environmental Policy 202-754-2315 202-608-1520 The Heritage Foundation 214 Massachusetts Avenue, NE Washington, DC 20002 heritage.org OST-2025-1200 Page 02173 Sierra Club v.
