Where

The Ballston BID has brought some holiday cheer to the streets of Ballston! The streets have been lit up by beautiful LED white lights on the trees in the median island that runs up and down Wilson Blvd. The row of trees will continue to stay lit through the upcoming winter months. This is small preview of our beautification plan that will begin to deploy this year where we will implement and maintain dramatic, colorful design throughout the Ballston neighborhood.

Meet
  
Registration is now open for the 3rd Annual TransportationCamp Washington DC, which will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2014 and co-hosted by Ballston BID partner, Mobility Lab. The "unconference" (not your traditional conference- instead, YOU organize the panels!) is designed to bring together transportation professionals, technologists, and others interested in the intersection of urban transportation and technology. This event will expand the opportunities we have to improve mobility through recent advances in technology, such as web 2.0, mobile computing, open source software, open data and APIs, and spatial analysis. The conference will also examine ways to build connections between disparate innovators in public administration, transportation operations, information design, and software engineering. The event will be hosted at the George Mason University School of Public Policy, at GMU Founders Hall, 3351 Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22201 starting at 10am.
