TransportationCamp Atlanta - Climate Week
Presented by NRDC, this ATL Climate Week event is for residents, transportation professionals, advocates, students, community leaders, and others interested in the future of transportation and mobility in the region. This event is in partnership with Propel ATL, whose mission is to transform Atlanta’s streets into safe, inclusive, and thriving spaces for people to ride, walk, and roll.
Loosely modeled on the participatory format of TransportationCamp South, the event will create space for attendees to engage directly in conversations about the transportation issues that matter most to their communities. Rather than a traditional panel or conference, the event will emphasize discussion, participation, and connection across a range of perspectives and transportation interests. Attendees will help shape the conversation through a mix of facilitated discussions, informal sessions, lightning talks, and other interactive formats, creating an environment where everyone can participate rather than simply listen.
Potential topics could include transit funding and expansion, regional connectivity, mobility justice, pedestrian and bicycle safety, land use and development, transportation technology, climate resilience, and the relationship between mobility and economic opportunity.

With congestion, limited transportation options, and uneven access to mobility continuing to shape daily life across the region, Atlanta needs interventions that are both ambitious and grounded in practical reality. Through candid conversation and the exchange of ideas, attendees will examine what is and isn’t working today, explore innovative approaches to the region’s transportation challenges, and consider what it will take to build a transportation system that better serves the people who live and work here.
