The conference officially kicks off Monday evening with an inspirational opening session called "The Future of Active Transportation" from Alan Durning of the Sightline Institute. The event continues all day Tuesday, with keynote speakers, a wide variety of breakout sessions to sample, and a must-see lunchtime panel called "Bikes Mean Business" that explores the economic benefits of promoting cycling.

The pre-conference session on The NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) bikeway design guide will be offered on Monday, April 16 from 9 a.m. – 5p.m. Taught by Roger Geller, Rob Burchfield and Peter Koonce, the session will cover the 21 designs found in the guide as well as other treatments in use, but not yet covered there.

The NACTO Guide presents both detailed designs and examples of how best practice bikeways are being implemented throughout North America.

The course is intended for traffic engineers, project managers, planners and anyone interested in the nuts and bolts and discussion of more recent bikeway designs.

Completing the training offers 6 professional development hours and the NACTO guide is available for purchase when registering for the summit.
