The Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center (PBIC) will offer a three-part webinar series in October focused on creating a safer bicycling environment through facility planning and design.  The series will be based on the 2012 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Operators Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, the 2013 National Association of City Transportation Officials Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Federal Highway Administration guidance, and current research. Bill Schultheiss and Peter Lagerwey from Toole Design Group will present at the webinars.

  1. Planning for Safety
    Thursday, October 2, 2014, 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. CT
    Registration: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/964666898

    This webinar will explain how careful planning can contribute to bicycle safety. Attendees will learn techniques and approaches for crash data collection and analysis, developing a bicycle network, and selecting the right bicycle facility for the network considering bicyclists' characteristics.
  1. On-Road Bicycle Facilities
    Thursday, October 16, 2014, 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. CT
    Registration: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/273802826

    This webinar will describe how design of on-road facilities can improve bicycle safety. Attendees will learn the fundamentals of geometric design at intersections, other roadway design considerations ( railroad crossings, bridges, tunnels), and signal timing and detection.
  1. Off-Road Bicycle Facilities
    Thursday, October 30, 2014, 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. CT
    Registration: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/361978754

    This webinar will illustrate how the design of off-road facilities can improve bicycle safety. Attendees will learn the basics of pathway design including speed, width, clearance, grade, railings, and intersection/midblock crossings.
