The HRTPO will once again host the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) Professional Development Webinar Series. For the past couple of years, the HRTPO has been hosting this webinar series in an effort to promote awareness of non-motorized issues in the region. These webinars are a great opportunity for local planners and regional advocacy groups to stay informed regarding bicycle and pedestrian matters as well as to interact and discuss transportation issues. Webinar topics for 2013 include best practices, economic benefits, safety issues, and data considerations regarding bicycle and pedestrian planning. Please see the list below for a complete listing of the 2013 APBP webinars.
