Course Details
During this panel discussion, we'll share topline trends across the U.S. in biking, walking, and shifts away from vehicle travel to support health, climate, and safety initiatives. The panelists will share examples including how Sarasota created a plan that prioritizes bike routes, route directness, and new routes on major corridors.
They will also share how the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District asked Jacobs to help them understand the existing conditions to support a trail and bridge facility to equitably meet the community's needs, and encourage mode shift away from vehicles. We'll also showcase StreetLight's Active Transportation Monitor to help attendees evaluate and prioritize active transportation projects.
