Jorge Brito

Jorge Brito is RTC’s Trailblazer Society Manager. He specializes in generating national support for the rail-trail movement, and is a passionate proponent of the development of safe bicycling and walking infrastructure nationwide.

It was access to the W&OD Trail in Virginia—which Jorge rode frequently while growing up—that led to his lifelong love of cycling and eventual career in active transportation advocacy. “That trail connected me to the towns along its path and was a place of fun and recreation for me from childhood till now,” says Jorge.

Prior career credits—before joining RTC in 2016—include managing community outreach for the launch of Philadelphia’s bike share system, Indego, and serving as a development and event-planning staffer for the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia.

Jorge earned his bachelor’s degree in history from Virginia Commonwealth University and his master’s in Secondary Education from Temple University. He lives in the Germantown section of Philadelphia with his partner Naomi and their two kids.
