Be a part of the 2020 Transportation Conference!
October 28-29 in Boise, ID
Join us for the *virtual* 2020 Transportation Conference on October 28th and 29th! Advocates, city staff, transportation professionals, planners, and elected officials from all over the state will come together to share information, learn from one another, and get to know each other. Our goal is to provide education and training to a diverse audience through a selection of relevant topics on bicycle and pedestrian design, advocacy, land use, funding options, health and wellness, and more. We wish to increase participants’ effectiveness at creating safe and accessible environments for walking or biking, whether that is at a city, county, regional, or state level.
Conference attendees represent a spectrum of people from a variety of communities who are engaged in bicycling and walking. With this year’s conference being held online, we want small, rural communities well represented to share successes and challenges they face locally.
Wednesday – October 28 – Advocacy Day
Wednesday will be a day filled with advocacy; we will hear from advocates sharing successes, policies and new ideas.
