Course Description

COURSE OVERVIEW

This three-day workshop offers strategies for building and strengthening communities around walking and bicycling. The primary focus will be to learn and experience first hand the design of various active transportation programs to support increased biking and walking.  The first day will focus on the behind-the-scenes effort that it takes to organize Portland's Sunday Parkways, the city's premiere Open Streets initiative.
