Webinar: CDOT's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program

CDOT's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program is Happy to Host a Special Webinar!

Wednesday, December 16, from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Shumate Building on the CDOT Headquarters Campus, 4201 E. Arkansas Ave., Denver, Colo.

This webinar is a presentation of the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP). Connecting with Public Health Professionals on Bike/Ped Issues (includes Health Impact Assessments).

This policy-oriented webinar will demonstrate the connections between an active living partnership and bicycling/walking policies and programs. Presenters will discuss a case study from Hennepin County, Minn., 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 nonmotorized 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 (Minn.), and Vayong Moua, Center for Prevention/Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Minnesota.

APBP has applied for one CM credit from the AICP for this webinar. A certificate of attendance for those wanting to claim Professional Development Hours will be available.

Lenore Bates, our Safe Routes to School Coordinator, and Adam Rolstad, our Transportation Specialist will be here as your hosts.  Please let me know if you have questions:
