The historical purpose of street design since the industrial revolution has been to move as much motorized traffic as quickly as possible from one point to another. Of course, based on this optic the focus of street design has been the automobile. Now, times have changed and there is a renewed interest for the health and welfare of our communities to convert our automobile-centered streets into livable spaces to support the growth of our communities. Through this course, engineers, planners, architects, contractors and practitioners within the A/E/C industry will learn the latest industry guidelines for selecting appropriate design vehicles and users for complete streets projects as well as applicable facilities to meet respective user needs.

Course Objectives
At the end of this webinar you will be able to:
  • Identify at least two sub-users of the pedestrian transportation mode that need to be considered during design to improve the safety and welfare of communities within complete street projects
  • Describe the four guiding truths for the design of multi-use facilities that help practitioners develop designs that improve the safety of the public
  • List at least two educational campaigns that can be used to promote mode-shift into active transportation, with the goal of improving the welfare of surrounding communities
  • Describe at least three elements based on a transportation mode that should be reviewed on a roadway audit to improve the multi-modal connectivity of a complete streets project
