Increasingly, communities are recognizing the need to improve access and safety for bicycle drivers. At this meeting, our first guest speaker will provide comprehensive information on the bikeway design standards and on-going research. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear about the latest innovations being considered at the federal level (NCUTCD Bicycle Technical Committee) and in California (Caltrans, CTCDC and the California Bicycle Advisory Committee).

The efforts of San Francisco MTA/DPT’s Bicycle Program have helped the city earn recognition as one of the best cities for bicycling in North America (Bicycling magazine). Our second guest speaker will introduce City’s Bicycle Program and implementation of City’s recent bicycle projects, with highlights of innovative solutions to difficult or unique challenges.
