SUMMARY:Building Safer Transportation Networks Through Trail Connectivity
DESCRIPTION:Join New Jersey Bike & Walk Coalition for this SAFE Network Webinar on Building Safer Transportation Networks Through Trail Connectivity. \nTrails are often viewed only as recreational amenities\, yet they do so much more. They connect people to schools\, jobs\, parks\, transit\, and countless everyday destinations. In this webinar\, we explore why trails should be integrated into the core transportation network and how connected trail systems can give people more ways to safely and conveniently move through their communities. Bringing together perspectives from statewide\, county\, regional\, and transit initiatives\, the webinar highlights how trail connectivity is being incorporated into transportation planning at multiple scales. \n
