Ideas are important, but how do they actually become safer streets, better policies, and lasting infrastructure improvements?
Join us for a special pre-summit webinar on September 16th, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM with Carter Lavin, who will explore the power of the inside/outside strategy and how grassroots advocacy, community organizing, and institutional leadership can work together to move transportation change forward.
This session will highlight how progress often depends on coordinated efforts from both sides: community advocates building public support and momentum on the outside, and agency staff, elected officials, and organizational leaders advancing projects from within systems on the inside.
Through practical examples and real-world lessons, attendees will gain actionable insights on coalition building, strategy, and how to turn momentum into meaningful results.
This webinar is ideal for advocates, planners, public officials, public health leaders, and community organizers looking to strengthen their work ahead of the 2026 NC BikeWalk Transportation Summit.
