Location: 
New Orleans, LA

CNU's 2018 Transportation Summit focuses on the revitalization of urban neighborhoods disrupted by limited-access highways and the local campaigns to transform these disruptive arteries into surface boulevards. In particular, we are seeking input from the organizers of these campaigns as we bring together leading experts and practitioners in transportation from around the country.

This year's Transportation Summit will convene September 16-17, 2018 at the Preservation Resource Center in New Orleans, LA. During the first day of the Summit, participants will hear from highway transportation campaign leaders as well as national experts engaged in a number of current teardown projects. The second day of the summit is more internally focused, as CNU members will present and discuss issues critical to CNU's Project for Transportation Reform. All are welcome to attend both days, but registration is limited to 80 people.

The summit will take place at the same time as Walk Bike Places, organized by Project for Public Spaces (PPS).

This Transportation Summit provides an opportunity to share success stories, collectively tackle hurdles, and plan strategically to increase the conversion rate of highways to boulevards in cities and towns across America.
