The Rail~Volution website says:
Rail~Volution is a conference of passionate people, like you, who want to engage in thoughtful discussion about building livable communities with transit. We are citizen activists, developers, business leaders, planners, local elected officials, transit operators, government officials and more. We come together each year, from more than 300 communities, towns and regions of all sizes and shapes, to share ideas and breakthroughs, frustrations and inspiration.
This year's conference brings us close to the policy and decision makers who will shape the dialogue in the coming election year. It allows us to delve into the big questions: "What is the next American dream?" and "Whose responsibility is livability?" It lets us explore the latest on federal transportation bill authorization, as well as the successful local and regional efforts to create livable communities.
