The T4ME 2026 Summit will bring together people who care about better choices for getting around — including walking, rolling, shared rides, and public transit. Join us to connect, learn, and build momentum for safe, reliable, affordable, sustainable and equitable transportation in Maine!

The program will feature:

• Two energizing keynotes - featuring author and activist Veronica Davis and movement-builder LeeAnn Hall from the National Campaign for Transit Justice.

• Robust opportunities for networking and relationship-building.

• Knowledge and skill-building around transportation advocacy and effective messaging.

• Creation of a shared vision for Maine’s transportation future.

Who Should Attend

• Advocates for walking, wheeling, shared rides, and public transit – especially people with lived experience and expertise as nondrivers.

• Staff and leaders in organizations and businesses, including those focused on the environment, transportation, health care, public health, housing, aging, disability, education, and workforce development.

• Elected and appointed officials from local, regional, and state government.

• Everyone who cares about transportation choices!

Ticket Information

We are offering a sliding scale with four options.

Full-Price Ticket – $125: This ticket reflects the full cost of the event after factoring in sponsorships. It is the cost that we would charge all attendees in the absence of a sliding scale. If you have access to financial security, or an organization can pay for you to attend, then this price is for you.

Community, Student & Older Adult (Age 65+) Ticket – $75: This is a discounted ticket for those who are students, older adults, or part of a community effort – and have the ability to pay at this level.

Unsponsored Advocate Ticket – $25: This is a discounted ticket for people who are not affiliated with an organization and for whom paying the other ticket prices would be a barrier to participate in the summit.

Inclusive Access Ticket – $0: This is a no-cost ticket for people who could not participate in the summit if payment was required. We have a limited number of these tickets.

Payment can be made by card or check.
