Better Streets with BRT
October 29, 2025 | 8:30am
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is spreading across North America, promising faster, more reliable service. The twist? Many BRT lines run on car-heavy state highways — great for speeding traffic, not so great for anyone trying to walk, roll or cycle. Turning these streets into places people actually want to cross, ride or linger on takes serious teamwork. Planners, designers, cities, DOTs and transit agencies all have to lock arms, get creative and rethink what a corridor can be. It’s complicated. It’s expensive. And it’s critical. Join us to hear how leaders are tackling big challenges — mastering interagency partnerships, improving safety and transit access, and elevating both the passenger and corridor experience.

Data Traveler: Worldwide Lessons in Expanding Transit
November 8, 2023 | 9:00-9:45am MT
The transportation system is the nervous system of a city. To understand how it works, we need to understand the data it’s giving us – across multiple modes – and then adapt and develop our transit systems to provide what our cities need. Learn from national and international examples and data that demonstrates our changing needs, patterns, habits and what it all means for the planning and development of transit in our cities. Are you interested in using data to develop strategies for building cities and master planning, changing policies and investing more strategically in transit systems? Don’t miss out!
