2024 Reconnecting Communities Summit

About the Event

The Reconnecting Communities Summit calls for a national restorative movement to advance policy and investment in revitalizing communities decimated by transportation policy.

At this second annual event, community members, practitioners, and policy leaders from across the country will gather, share, learn, and create a community of practice to overcome the negative effects of the Federal Highway Act of 1956.

The event is hosted by ReConnect Rondo and sponsored by the AASHTO Center of Environmental Excellence in partnership with COMTO.
