The Bike Summit is a one-day policy conference aimed at building better bike communities.
Join leading thinkers, practitioners and decision-makers who are on the fast track to creating bikeable communities.
Increasing the number of people who move around by cycling and walking is critical to the prosperity and livability of our region.
Speakers include:
- Eric Anderson is a bicycle and pedestrian professional with 10 years of experience in the field, spanning agency, advocacy and consulting roles. His first paid job in bicycling was throwing a paper route by bike from age 11-15.
- Joshua Benson is the Acting Director of Bicycle & Pedestrian Programs for the New York City Department of Transportation.
- Ralph Buehler is an Assistant Professor in the Urban Affairs and Planning Program at Virginia Tech's Alexandria Center. Most of Dr. Buehler's transportation research has an international comparative perspective. He seeks to disentangle how international differences in travel behavior are shaped by public policies, spatial development patterns, and demographic and socioeconomic factors.
- Pauline Craig is a Transportation Planner in the Toronto City Planning Division.
