Bike and Pedestrian Issues in Transportation Planning
Channel: UCCONNECT
Date: 30/09/2015

This was the first workshop in a four part series entitled "Planning for the 21st century - emerging trends" focusing on relevant topics in Transportation Planning. This event was moderated by Professor Susan Shaheen, co-Director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at UC Berkeley, and highlighted presentations by Offer Grembek, co-director of SafeTREC at UC Berkeley, and Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Dean of Academic Affairs and Urban Planning Professor at UCLA. Both speakers focused on a series of issues that affect walking and bicycling and proposed solutions. The presentations covered key trends of pedestrian and bicycle activity across California and presented strategies that Caltrans in particular can pursue towards achieving their walking and bicycling goals. A lively discussion ensued after the presentations in which the speakers replied to questions from both the live audience and the online community.
