PBIC and Bike League offer free webinar on funding ped/bike projects under MAP-21
CHAPEL HILL, NC — The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) has partnered with the League of American Bicyclists for its next free Webinar in its Livable Communities Webinar Series:
Accessing Funding for Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects under MAP-21
Tuesday, April 9, 2013
2:00 p.m. — 3:30 p.m. Eastern Time
To register, please visit: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/314266834.
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) law has changed many of the familiar routes for funding bicycle and pedestrian programs and infrastructure. But funding is still available. This presentation is intended to help pedestrian and bicycle officials learn how to use MAP-21 funding programs at the state and local levels.
Speakers Darren Flusche, with the Bike League, and Peter Lagerwey, with Toole Design Group, will discuss ways to access untapped or under-utilized federal funding sources to build bicycling and walking projects, as well as how to leverage the new Transportation Alternatives program.
At the conclusion of the webinar, both speakers will be available for questions and discussion.
This is the first of two webinars being offered jointly by the PBIC and the Bike League. The second presentation, to be held May 7, will focus on the economic value of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
PBIC offers free, public Webinars approximately every other month. To register for upcoming Webinars and to access archived presentations, please visit www.walkinginfo.org/webinars.
Since its inception in 1999, PBIC's mission has been to improve the quality of life in communities through the increase of safe walking and bicycling as a viable means of transportation and physical activity. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center is maintained by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center with funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration.
