Small Towns, Big Steps in Active Transport: Workshop
This workshop features presentations from leading communities that have successfully navigated challenges unique to smaller communities. Some of these challenges include:
- Creating a walkable downtown despite the main street acting as a highway
- Building projects across jurisdictional boundaries
- Navigating grants and funding for active transportation projects
Participants engaged in a discussion about overcoming barriers and what works to support active transportation in smaller communities.
Presenters include the research lead for BCHLA’s Small Town, Big Steps in Active Transport project, local leaders in active transport, and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI).
Organizations, communities and people who are interested in enhancing active transportation in small towns will benefit from attending and participating in the workshop.
