The Michigan Municipal League is partnering with the Michigan Association of Planning this December 8th and 9th in Lansing to offer two days of comprehensive, multidisciplinary training that provides the programming necessary to integrate land use and transportation policies with health and mobility agendas. The program curriculum responds to the recent passage of complete streets legislation, which made Michigan the 14th state to embrace this integrated approach to planning, design and construction of transportation networks which provide safe, attractive and comfortable access for ALL users, from bicyclists and pedestrians, to the elderly and disabled, busses and trains, and the automobile.
Learn what you can do locally to implement policies and programs that can transform your community, from Day 1's livability experts Michael Ronkin, Harrison Rue, and Scott Windley to Day 2's ITE Manual authorities Phil Caruso, Brian Bochner and G. Wade Walker.
Communities that create a culture that embraces transportation options for all users not only expands access to services and encourages healthy lifestyles, but also lowers traffic congestion, attracts and retains residents and businesses, supports mixed use and compact development, promotes economic development, and improves equity in transportation. Learn how YOUR community can enhance its livability, add value to residents, and attract investment by integrating elements that create vitality.
Experience the buzz, registration is now open.
