About this week’s guest:

Peter Rodgers serves as the executive director of the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments – the metropolitan planning organization responsible for programming, coordination, and planning in the San Luis Obispo region. With 28 years of increasing responsibility at the agency, Rodgers was selected to lead the agency in August 2018.

Peter has been involved in planning and funding consolidated public transit systems, passenger rail, highway improvements, bikeways, trails, and street enhancements – linking almost every community in the San Luis Obispo region. His efforts to expand rail and improve intercity rail connections have secured two new rail stations – in Paso Robles and Grover Beach.

Prior to his work at SLOCOG, Peter worked at the civil engineering firm, Wallace & Associates, and served two Peace Corps assignments in Haiti and Costa Rica focused on reforestation.
