at the Washington Bike Summit
March 16-17, 2015
Olympia WA
You won't want to miss the statewide bike conference in the #1 Bicycle Friendly State. Join advocates and professionals from all around Washington and attend the Legislative Reception Monday night.
Program
Plenary sessions and panel discussions will inspire and inform with topics like:
Vision Zero and other big campaigns for safer streets
Healthy hometowns through bicycling
New designs for better bicycling and small projects that yield big benefits
Working for a more inclusive bicycle movement
School and youth programs to get the next generation rolling
Finding money for your projects
Professionals can attend two workshops for CEUs: A half-day session on Practical Design with WSDOT and a full-day training on the NACTO Bikeway Design Guide.
Day Two of the Summit, advocates for active transportation will join us to participate in legislative meetings set for Transportation Advocacy Day that run concurrently with workshops.
Workshop details and speakers will be updated as they're confirmed on the Summit main page.
