REV Birmingham is helping our city welcome all of its new visitors. Working with the Department of Transportation of the City of Birmingham, REV Birmingham helped design and place wayfinders around downtown, particularly on 20th Street North and Richard Arrington Jr Blvd North. These wayfinders point to the nearest points of interest and help direct walkers to the right venues. They also include QR codes that feature links to:

Parking maps
Places to go to eat and find entertainment
The World Games 2022 website
Shuttle system

“We wanted people to feel really confident walking the streets of downtown Birmingham, especially people who have never been there before. We wanted them to have a sense of where to go.”
Julie Clark McKinney, Director of Communications, REV Birmingham

REV Birmingham also organized nearly 300 volunteers who will be around downtown to:

Give assistance to visitors navigating downtown Birmingham
Provide guest information services
