A Passionate Affair

Release Date: Thursday, March 31st 2011

The DowntownDC BID is a sponsor of Rail~Volution, the premier conference on transit and livable communities, which is coming to DC on Sunday, October 16 through Wednesday, October 19. Passionate practitioners who believe strongly in the role of land use and transit as equal partners in the quest for greater livability and greater communities are encouraged to attend. The conference and workshops will showcase what's happening around the region—from streetcars to Capital Bikeshare, from the Silver Line to the Purple Line, from Tyson's Corner to Silver Spring—and offer the opportunity for people to interact and learn from their peers around the nation. Rail~Volution started as a series of outreach and advocacy events in 1989. It was designed to develop advocates for the Portland metropolitan region's MAX Light Rail System but went national in 1995.
