Like riding public transit? Enjoy walkable urbanism? Join the New Rail~volutionaries for their first monthly happy hour. Come and learn what we are all about and meet other Rail~volutionaries in the Denver Region!
Denver New Rail~volutionaries (DNRV) is an informal organization of transit supporters that focuses on celebrating and educating the Denver region about transit’s role in creating a livable community. Their goals and interests overlap a great deal with local professional organizations such as Transit Alliance, ULI, APA, CNU and many other related organizations, but Denver New Rail~volutionaries is not driven by membership fees and is open to all who are interested in meeting and attending events with others who are passionate creating a more livable region through transit.
While all of the other organizations will be valuable partners and opportunities will exist to co-sponsor events and collaborate in other ways, the Denver New Rail~volutionaries will exist as an informal forum for conversation about transit’s role in evolving walkable urbanism throughout the Denver region. Attendance at events will expose participants to knowledge about the history of transit and emerging transit investments in the Denver Region, advantages and opportunities that transit offers and an understanding of its relationship to a livable community.
The Denver Chapter is part of the New Rail~volutionaries, a national networking group associated with the annual Rail~volution conference and passionate about the impact of new professionals in creating livable communities. This group aims to connect a wide spectrum of new and emerging transportation and land-use oriented professionals and advocates at the conference and throughout the year. These individuals share a vision to create places that are more equitable, sustainable and economically vibrant.
The Denver New Rail~volutionaries first event is an introductory happy hour at Lucky Pie, located at 16th and Wazee, on Thursday, May 17th starting at 5:30 p.m. Be sure to like us on Facebook and look for more events in the near future!
