This week-long course will provide practitioners with the fundamentals of pedestrian and bicycle planning and design through an intensive week of interactive classroom and field experience. The course will integrate transit access and connections, bridges, trail crossings, and other special features into the discussion. Project case studies and funding will highlight practical applications of the principles and techniques discussed.

Course Faculty
The program is taught by local bikeway, trail, and pedestrian planning, design and engineering experts from public and private agencies including the City of Portland Office of Transportation, Metro, Alta Planning + Design, and Kittelson & Associates.
