Some excellent training opportunities. I've been very impressed with IBPI courses in the past, and have taken a lot of lessons from them.

August 16 - 21, 2016
Room 315, Engineering Building, Portland State University
The field of bikeway planning and design has been evolving rapidly over the last decade. As communities have put bikeway plans into effect, we've learned what works and what doesn't; how to plan effectively, design correctly and make investments that get results. We've distilled those lessons into our comprehensive bikeway planning and design course. The pioneers and leading practitioners in the field will teach the fundamentals of bikeway planning and design through an intensive week of classroom sessions and tours. The instruction and interaction with other participants will bring you up to speed on innovative practice and research and teach you the skills and techniques you need to get started on your next project.

Who Should Attend: 
People interested in nurturing cycling in their communities, including urban planners, advocates, policymakers, transportation engineers and other transportation professionals. People looking to make low-risk investments in proven bicycle plans and facilities. This class has a planning focus, with some engineering issues covered.
