registration is open for capital ideas 2018

Join us in Atlanta this December for our state policy conference

Registration is now open for Transportation for America’s state policy conference, where we’ll be defining the state’s role in transportation during a time of disruption and uncertainty. Learn more and register today at discounted early bird rates to join us this December in Atlanta, GA.

From the T4America director:

We are in the midst of a transformational age for transportation, but the benefits are not being evenly or carefully distributed. Today, thanks to new technologies, we have more choices than we ever before, yet people living in metropolitan areas remain crippled by gridlock while those in exurbs and rural communities are increasingly isolated. With more options, transportation has gotten more complicated, with more people—whether on bikes, on foot, in ridesourcing vehicles, or on transit—competing for limited street space. And despite all the innovation, transportation is still an expensive burden for too many people.

All of this change is occurring as employers are relocating to downtown areas but escalating housing prices are pushing employees further away from central cities. And the quality of the roads and transit systems we rely on are in jeopardy as the backlog of neglected maintenance and repair continues to grow.

But for the first time in a long time, more people are beginning to recognize that transportation—and transit in particular—is really a tool that helps people access opportunity, drives economic development, improves our health, environment, and public safety, and builds the civic and social capital that binds communities together. Mobility is catalytic and transformational.

If any of this has you thinking, then you might be interested in attending Capital Ideas 2018 in Atlanta on December 5th and 6th. Early bird registration for the conference is now open! Save $100 by registering before July 2nd.

This year’s conference theme is “defining the state role in transportation during a time of disruption and uncertainty.” Just like the two previous conferences in Sacramento and Denver, this year’s conference will bring together state and local elected officials, policymakers, advocates, chambers of commerce, foundations, universities, think tanks and industry under one roof. With so many experts together we can tackle the real issues that constrain our mobility, limit our economic growth, and prevent our communities from becoming the vibrant, livable, connected places we all desire.

Register today for Capital Ideas 2018, and save one-third off regular admission with the early bird special rate.

We hope to see you there!
