Getting Business on Board: Promoting Walking and Biking in the Workplace
Representatives from Canadian communities of different sizes, topography, and climates will share their experiences, successes and challenges in mobilizing walking and biking with the cooperation of local businesses. Presentations from at least two municipalities and three non-profit organizations will provide a brief look at some of the strategies that can be used to engage businesses and other employers. (2)

Effective Planning and Evaluation of Active Community Programs
This workshop will guide participants through a process to effectively plan and evaluate an active community program. Social marketing principles will be discussed as the model for program planning, and the Center for Disease Control's (CDC's) evaluation framework will be introduced. Participants will come to appreciate the value of program evaluation, and will understand the importance of conducting planning and evaluation simultaneously.(5)

Teaching Community Design to Health Educators
This presentation is based on a partnership between the Department of Health and Family Services and the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin. Health educators know that children and adults need to be more physically active. However, they often do not know how to build communities where walking and bicycling is as natural as driving. Learn how to forge partnerships between pedestrian and bicycle advocacy groups and state health organizations, and what these groups can teach each other.(8)

What is the Model - A Primer on Transportation Demand Forecasting Models
MPOs, cities and states commonly make transportation infrastructure decisions based on the "transportation forecasting model". These models usually involve four steps: trip generation, trip distribution, modal split, and trip assignment (routing). The models used do not serve the non-motorized modes well; yet advocates are often faced with arguing against them to justify alternatives. This workshop is designed to explain how the model works, the barriers to non-motorized modeling in this context, and ways non-motorized transportation planners might encourage models that account for walking and bicycling.(15)

Transit Oriented Development: Making the Connections for Walking, Cycling and Transit
" Transit Oriented Development” (TOD) involves intensifying development around transit stations. This presentation will use as an example Calgary's Light Rail Transit system (LRT), highlighting the pedestrian/ cycle/transit connection, and the importance of ensuring good access to transit for non-motorists. Design objectives, challenges and successes will be reviewed. Lessons learned from Calgary's TOD Best Practices Handbook and the Policy Guidelines will be of interest to planners, transit designers and users, and advocates for walking and cycling.(16)
