Improving Travel Options in Small and Rural Communities

November 9, 2011, 12:30-1:30 pm CST

Geoff Noxon, Noxon Associates

This webinar is intended to help practitioners - engineers, planners, health professionals, economic development officials, and others - produce plans and implement appropriate travel options for residents of small and rural communities. This includes a range of actions that make personal transportation activities more sustainable, such as encouraging drivers to operate their cars more efficiently, or to leave their cars at home and walk, cycle, take transit, or carpool instead. This webinar will look at how to use three guides available for free from Transport Canada:

Improving Travel Options in Small and Rural Communities;
Transportation Demand Management for Canadian Communities: A Guide to Understanding, Planning and Delivering TDM Programs; and,
Changing Transportation Behaviours: A Social Marketing Planning Guide.
