2026 Spring Summit

Featured Keynote: A Big Step Forward for Transit in Illinois

Amy Rynell, Active Transportation Alliance, Chicago

MobiliSE is pleased to welcome to Milwaukee one of the nation's most visionary and effective leaders in transportation advocacy and policy, Amy Rynell of Active Transportation Alliance.

Amy helped lead a group of committed advocates in Illinois that recently achieved a policy breakthrough that has gained the attention of the transit industry across the US: a $1.5 billion funding and reform package that positions transit across the state for long term sustainability.

Amy will share the lessons learned and inside scoop on what it took to not only get to "yes," but to rethink transportation policy at the local and state level.

MobilISE's Spring Summit will bring together civic and elected leaders, community advocates and transportation professionals to:

  • Understand the current state of transportation policy at the local, state and national level

  • Learn effective strategies to advocate for transit-friendly policies

  • Launch a new grassroots transit advocacy coalition of transit riders and community stakeholders.

Stay tuned for a full list of speakers and conference agenda.
