Rail~Volution

I look forward to meeting everyone at Rail~Volution next week.  I'm on a panel on Wednesday October 19, 2011, from 10:00-11:30 am

Community Outreach Strategies for Engaging Diverse Stakeholders CM 1.5: With public investment in infrastructure growing ever scarcer, public and private agencies need to dig deeper into their communities to ensure all voices are being heard. Investments in transit, bikeways and affordable housing will not be saved by community members who are accustomed to attending public meetings. This session will feature case studies for engaging diverse stakeholders from three large American cities.
