​What is the Transit Forward Symposium and why should I attend?

Because we bring together an impressive array of experts -- including YOU.  

​

That's right -- maybe you are a professional engineer or architect who has a knack for human-centered design, maybe you are a transit maven who only gets around by bus or train, maybe you have dedicated your life to working with churches and non-profit organizations providing for those who have great need in our community, or maybe you are a community organizer and understand the unique needs of your neighborhood -- no matter your expertise, your professional knowledge and lived experience forms a unique perspective that can help us shape policy that works for people like you.

​

This think-tank-style event uses crowdsourcing that enables a diverse network of thinkers to find creative solutions for real and pressing challenges in our community.

​

We will focus our conversations around what it takes to create a Transit-Supportive Environment In Tarrant County. Industry experts kick off the Symposium with a series of presentations and panel discussions to give us all a baseline understanding of the issue, and then we let the participants take it from there. This is a first-of-its-kind attempt at knocking down silos, rolling up our sleeves and really diving deep into the issues.

​

At the end of the symposium, a report will be developed that will be shared throughout Tarrant County with political leaders, community organizations, advocates, riders, and everyone else.
