Coming this July 23: Our Yearly Summit

The North Dakota Active Transportation Alliance and its partners and allies organize an Annual Statewide Active Transportation Summit to bring together walkers, runners, bicycle riders, advocates, agencies and everyone across the state who is working to make walking and biking safe, convenient, comfortable and inviting in North Dakota.

This year’s summit will take place online on July 23, from 6:00 pm to 6:45 pm. To register, please follow this link: https://meethdr.webex.com/meethdr/onstage/g.php?MTID=e1cebe01a607c5f46606a996118e7ec08

The purpose of the Summit this year is to convene bicycle riders and walkers from throughout North Dakota to:

• Make connections with each other,
• Connect with the North Dakota Active Transportation Alliance (this organization), and
• Advocate for North Dakota’s community of bicyclists, walkers, runners.

The Summit will be held virtually, and will be formatted to help gather the voice and guidance of North Dakota bicycle riders and walkers to orient the goals and priorities of the North Dakota Department of Transportation’s Long Range Transportation Plan (called Transportation Connection) and which aims to guide the state’s priorities for transportation for the next 20 years.

Program

The Summit will be held as an online web meeting, and will include interactive polls and other tools to gather your guidance within each presentation segment. In addition, it will include a full-length survey to gather your preferences and recommendations.
