June 29: Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Planning

In preparation for the next round of Tribal Safety Funding, join us for Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Planning! The Southern Plains Tribal Technical Assistance Program (SPTTAP) Center's Tribal Safety Circuit Rider Program is hosting this three-hour Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Planning Class (Tribal Road-star Course) in Stillwater on June 29, 2016. The course will be held at the Center for Local Government Technology (5202 N. Richmond Hill Drive, Stillwater, OK 74078).

This course is intended to equip participants with tools and knowledge to improve safety conditions for all road users in their communities, specifically pedestrians and bicyclists. Participants will walk through the beginning stages of planning their pedestrian and bike safety improvement project and come away with knowledge and skills to follow through with the plan they have begun.
