*Access to Transit:  Panel and Mobile Session*

One reason we are so excited to be meeting in person for the upcoming
Summit is that Durham has been taking some big strides to improve
transportation options right now. Last year we included a session that
spotlighted Durham's Trail Implementation Plan.This year, we'll take a look
at Durham's *Better Bus Project*.

Join a group of Durham panelists as they discuss the City's work to improve
transit in Durham and their approach to better access to transit. Learn
about BikeDurham's *Transit Equity Campaign*. Following the presentation,
Summit attendees will have a chance to see the Transit Experience on the
street with a mobile session that will point out and describe upcoming
improvements.

*Ride the American Tobacco Trail and learn about Durham's history as you go*

Join us Saturday morning at the Summit for a ride through Durham and along
the *American Tobacco Trail*, part of the East Coast Greenway. Longtime
Durham resident and Carolina Tarwheel Dave Connelly will lead a ride that
includes both, while also sharing a lot of history along the way. Dave will
also lead a "Jane Jacobs" walk around Durham on Friday.

*How to Implement a Pop-up Traffic Garden*

A *traffic garden* is a set of small-sized streets with scaled-down traffic
features and other fun elements where children navigate and practice using
roadways, intersections and crossings in a safe and fun  environment free
of motor vehicles. We are partnering with *Mobycon* and *Durham's Parks and
Recreation* department to bring this concept to Durham's community.

*AICP Credits offered*

We are happy to be able to offer AICP credits for the Summit.
And a reminder! This year we are offering a "*Choose your Price*"
registration, so the Summit is affordable to all.

*ABOUT THE SUMMIT*

This year's BikeWalk NC Summit will be a hybrid of in-person and online
presentations. In addition to a week of pre-Summit sessions, we will be
meeting* in person* at the W.G. Pearson Center Nov. 4–6. (All in-person
events will follow the City of Durham and the Pearson Center protocols for
health and safety, which currently include masking for all indoor events.)
We will also be livestreaming the sessions for those who want to attend
virtually, and will be recording all sessions so attendees will have access
to them later.

Durham has a LOT going on in terms of bicycle and pedestrian improvements,
its Better Bus Project, its work as a Vision Zero community, and of course,
we want to experience the American Tobacco Trail and East Coast Greenway
which go through the city. We want to see how the Bus project works, and
want to let others get a short tour of Durham and the American Tobacco
Trail and what similar facilities could do for other communities. We are
also excited to be able to offer an LCI Certification Class prior to the
Summit (See information in Sidebar), and we will be showcasing how to
implement a traffic garden for kids. All of these will benefit from, and in
some cases require, in-person attendance.
We are offering a "Choose your Price" registration so the Summit is
affordable to all. MEMBERSHIP INCLUDED!

Every registration to the Summit this year comes with a one-year membership
to BikeWalk NC (normally $30), which will allow you to keep up with
important developments in the legislature and around the state concerning
active transportation.
