Active Transportation Workshops and Consulting
The PedNet Coalition offers training workshops on a variety of topics for advocates, community groups, schools, public health agencies, law enforcement, local government leaders, and elected representatives - in fact, anyone who wants to promote walking and bicycling in their community. To ensure you leave the workshop ready to start making a difference in your community, each workshop includes:
- Guided action-planning exercises
- A comprehensive training manual
- A resource CD of easy-to-customize documents
All workshops can be combined or customized, and we also offer more extended consulting support on all of these topics.
