Don't miss our Equity Summit

Spots for this event in late January are going fast!

This January we are convening an exciting group of experts, practitioners and policymakers for a free three-day virtual summit where we'll be discussing how to elevate improving racial equity in smart growth work. Join us from January 26th-28th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST each day.

Improving racial disparities is at the core of a smart growth approach, but how can smart growth advocates better prioritize and center that work?

The centerpiece of each day is a discussion between a panel of experts, moderated by a Smart Growth America expert. The impressive lineup of speakers will discuss how to promote equity in housing and land use, why strong Black & brown businesses are key to neighborhood vitality, and how to right the wrongs of past damaging transportation decisions and promote restorative justice. Do not miss it! Registration is free!

But coming up first, it's TransportationCampDC on Saturday, January 16

A few days before the Summit, join T4America for this annual unconference virtually on Saturday, January 16th to discuss the fight for better transportation in our new pandemic world.

TransportationCamp DC is an important tradition for the transportation community. Every January, advocates, practitioners, business leaders, professionals, students, and others gather for this in-person unconference—where attendees plan and lead the sessions themselves.

This year, COVID-19 is making gathering in-person for this important (and fun) unconference impossible. Yet we still need to gather to take a holistic view of everything happening in transportation—and how we can fight to make our transportation system safe, affordable, equitable and sustainable in this new world.
