Unpacking the 2050 Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan

Mile High Connects, in partnership with Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), hosted a panel discussion with regional leaders from the transit and environmental space to discuss the state of our region.

Panelists included:

• Christian Steward with Denver’s Office of Transportation & Infrastructure – Learn more about DOTI’s programs, priorities and services.
• Dr. Janiece Mackey with Young Americans for Social and Political Activism (YAASPA) – Learn more about how YAASPA helps youth become civically engaged in career and community.
• Cindy Chang with Groundwork Denver – Learn more about how Groundwork Denver improves the physical environment and promotes health and well-being.
• Syndey Hunter with EarthLinks – Learn more about how Earthlinks cultivates transformation and self-worth with people experiencing homelessness and poverty.
• And, special thanks to our amazing moderator, Angelique Espinoza, with Good Business Colorado .

We know due to gentrification, there are many families moving out to the burbs and transportation is not sufficient in these spaces. Youth still need access to extracurricular activities, to get to sports, to get to work

– Dr. Janiece Mackey, YAASPA
