EMBARQ hosted 50 D.C. city officials, planners, transport practitioners, technologists, social media mavens and urban advocates for a discussion about online engagement for sustainable urban mobility in Washington, D.C. The event was organized by TheCityFix Managing Editor Erica Schlaikjer, who is also EMBARQ’s online engagement coordinator, as part of the District’s first Digital Capital Week.

All panelists gave examples of how their organizations – including OpenPlans, The Washington Post, Greater Greater Washington, the District Department of Transportation and the Office of the Chief Technology Officer – are encouraging civic engagement and collaboration through online tools.
