Tuesday, January 29, 2013, from 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m., CST
Webinar Overview:
Hosted by the The Center TRT in order to share the MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy, posted on the Center TRT website. This webinar is presented by Leslie Meehan (AICP),
Director of Healthy Communities at the Nashville MPO.
The MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy includes two key elements: (1) dedicated funding for both active transportation infrastructure and education about active transportation and (2) the application of scoring criteria - which drives project funding - that incorporates active transportation indicators.
This initiative has the potential to improve the health of community members by facilitating active transportation and creating safer environments for biking and walking. The Nashville Area MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy and the scoring criteria were adopted in December 2010. Since then, the MPO has continued to expand its work in active transportation.
The hour-long webinar will provide:
· an overview of the Center TRT intervention review, including core elements, evidence-base, and potential public health impact
· a presentation by Leslie Meehan of the Nashville MPO on the implementation of the Active Transportation Funding Policy, including lessons learned and resources needed to support implementation
· a Q & A session
Please note the webinar is limited to 250 participants, but the presentation will be archived and posted to the Center TRT website for access following the live presentation.
