Comprehensive Bikeway Design
Date: August 21-25 Location: Portland State University, 1825 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97201 What: As Portland, Oregon has put bikeway plans into effect, we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t—how to plan effectively, design correctly and make investments that get results. We’ve distilled those lessons into this course, which covers the fundamentals of bikeway design and planning through an intensive week of interactive classroom, field tours, and design exercises. PSU Faculty Workshop
Date: July 17-18, 2023 Location: Portland State University, 1825 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97201 What: This two-day course supports transportation planning and engineering faculty in integrating bicycle and pedestrian topics into their courses. We share the learning materials and resources necessary to broaden your curriculum and course design, and also take you through on-the-ground examples of infrastructure for active transportation. The importance of interactive, experiential learning is demonstrated through walking and biking tours which offer a firsthand experience of the innovative solutions used in Portland, as well as other U.S. cities that prioritize designing for all types of road users. Combined with classroom instruction on the Portland State campus, participants should expect the bike tour to be up to 8 miles with some mild elevation and done at a moderate pace.
