Charles T. Brown will be our featured speaker for the summit. He is founder and CEO of Horizon 54, a minority- and veteran-owned urban planning, public policy, and research firm focused on the intersection of transportation, health, and equity. He’s also the creator and host of the Arrested Mobility podcast and an adjunct professor at Rutgers University’s Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.
In addition to Charles’ keynote, we’ll also hear from local leaders on the status of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure up and down the Valley.
Both the screening and summit are free, but advanced registration is encouraged so we can make sure we’re prepared to meet your expectations.
Many thanks to our 2026 Shenandoah Valley Bike-Walk Summit Sponsors!
