Resource Conservation Manitoba will be hosting this APBP (Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals) webinar. If you would like to join them, please RSVP to beth@resourceconservation.mb.ca as space is limited.

For communities that want to create real mobility choices for their citizens, bicycling and walking must mesh with transit. This webinar will explore the common ground between the transit and active transportation communities, and ways to overcome institutional challenges to cooperation. Topics to be covered in the presentation will include:

• Reasons to create partnerships between transit agencies and bicycle/pedestrian programs;
• Examples of effective collaboration; design guides and best practices;
• Design, operational, and safety issues to consider when integrating bicycling and walking into stations, roadways and transit vehicles:
  — At stations: Wayfinding, forecasting demand for short and long-term bicycle parking, access for pedestrians and cyclists, integration with the local street network.
  — On the road: road overview of issues around incorporating both bicycling and transit facilities in street design, as well as crosswalk policy and treatments at transit stops, pedestrian amenities at bus stops, and accessibility.
  — On the transit vehicle: Bicycles on the vehicle and access for people with disabilities.
  — Teaching cyclists and transit operators to share the road, including a new education program developed for Chicago that reaches both bicyclists and transit operators.

Webinar presenters are Cynthia Hoyle ( Transportation Planning Consultant with the Champaign-Urbana Illinois Mass Transit District), Dustin White (Transportation Planner with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency), and Amanda Woodall (Training and Enforcement Coordinator with the Active Transportation Alliance in Chicago).
