Rail~Volution Annual Conference
Lead Agency: Rail~Volution, Inc.
Description: Rail~Volution is the pre-eminent national conference about building livable communities with transit. The conference began in 1989 as a small regional meeting sponsored by the City of Portland’s Regional Rail Program, and spearheaded by Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer, a national spokesperson for transit. It culminated in 1995 with the creation of a national conference, and has grown to include more than 1,200 participants, including a broad cross-section of attendees from across the nation, and from several countries.
Rail~Volution’s mission is to provide a forum that engages the public to build collaboratively a diverse coalition dedicated to building livable communities through education, advocacy, and increasing overall federal, state, and local funds available for transit.
Current Status: The conference recently took place in San Francisco, California, and was a highly successful event that drew over 1,100 attendees.
