On October 20-23, Greenbelt Alliance had the pleasure of presenting at Rail~Volution, the nation’s premier transportation conference in Seattle, WA. We were well represented at the conference by a contingent of superstars: Stephanie Reyes, Matt Vander Sluis, and Uri Pachter.
Stephanie presented on using regional transportation funding to incentivize good local land use while Uri was part of the expert panel for the session Online Engagement: Making the Web Work for You. It was refreshing and educational to be around so many transit experts and like-minded thinkers.
Luckily for you, Stephanie, Matt, and Uri were kind enough to share what they learned at #RailVolution on Twitter. Here are some of our favorite tweets, with the offending tweeter denoted by their initials:
