2:00 to 3:00 PM

This policy-oriented webinar is presented by Health in Common in partnership with Resource Conservation Manitoba's Active and Safe Routes to School program. It will demonstrate the connections between an active living partnership and bicycling/walking policies/programs. Presenters will discuss a case study from Hennepin County, Minnesota, in which technical assistance provided by an umbrella group through support from Blue Cross/Blue Shield (workshops on Complete Streets and Winter Walking) helped gather diverse constituencies to catalyze pedestrian and bicycle policies and planning.

Webinar participants will learn:

• how to understand and articulate the synergies between non-motorized transportation planning and public health.
• how governments, businesses, and community partners can connect to develop partnerships to carry out this work.
• how to create and successfully shepherd policies through approval by elected bodies.

Webinar presenters are Karen Nikolai, Hennepin County (Minnesota), and Vayong Moua, Center for Prevention/Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Minnesota.
