Alternative Transportation Webinar Resources Posted
Posted by Carrie Kissel, NADO Senior Program Manager

On February 15, the NADO Research Foundation and RPO America held a webinar showcasing the work of two award-winning organizations on rural travel demand management and small metropolitan trail development. The Iowa Northland Regional Council of Governments (Waterloo, IA) developed the Prairie Pathways Initiative to enhance the experience of trail users through interpretive signage, interactive kiosks. The Southwest Region Planning Commission (Keene, NH) developed a website and outreach materials on rural travel demand management to address transportation options throughout the region. Both projects have improved the experience of residents and visitors to the region by offering highlighting the extensive bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other transportation amenities. The speakers' presentations are below: As winners of the 2010 NADO Trailblazer Awards, these two organizations were selected by peer judges for being highly innovative and effective regional transportation projects.

This webinar was supported in part by the Federal Highway Administration through the NADO Research Foundation’s Center for Transportation Advancement and Regional Development. 1 AICP CM credit is available for attendees.
