Metro Denver is emerging as THE learning laboratory for revitalizing our communities through the development of a multi-modal transportation infrastructure. NO ONE else in the nation is doing what we are here in Denver. Thanks to voter support of FasTracks in 2004, we will have more than 90 transit stations in the metro region by the end of this decade. FasTracks is the Denver metropolitan region’s most important public works project, and the area’s linchpin for regional livability and vitality far into the future.

The program will host a maximum of 60 participants over 7 weeks to discuss the complex linkages between transportation, community development and sustainability.   These complexities and their relationship to the goals of the Denver Metro Region are uncovered in the program through a variety of speakers from the development community, public health sector, municipal government, the Regional Transportation District and many more.

The cornerstone of this unique program is that participants will take their new knowledge and put it in action.  Each session will be designed to be very interactive and participants will be asked to follow-up each session with a homework assignment.  In addition, participants will spend a portion of each class designing their individual action plan that they will implement in their community upon completing the Academy.

The Transit Alliance Citizens’ Academy is limited to a class of 60 who will be selected on the basis of demonstrated leadership ability and commitment to make future contributions to transportation, community development, healthy living and improving the quality of life in Metro Denver.

PROGRAM LOCATION
All sessions will be held at the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce in Downtown Denver, 1445 Market Street, 5th Floor.
