Teaching Design and Engagement in Active Transportation

Offered through our long-standing program, the Initiative for Bicycle and Pedestrian Innovation (IBPI), we convene leading experts to teach multi-day workshops for active transportation professionals looking to hit the ground running (or cycling!) as they design multimodal options in their communities. Since 2007 we've been teaching these essential design skills, and have trained over 740 people from 44 U.S. states and 5 countries! 

Our experiential learning opportunities offer knowledge, connections, and inspiration though a combination of daily field tours and classroom conversations. Cohorts gain the skills to support innovative design, implementation, and engagement with active transportation infrastructure:

  • Comprehensive Bikeway Design
    This is our flagship week-long workshop to learn the latest innovations in bikeway design.
  • Active Transportation Programs
    If you build it, will they come? We offer strategies for building and strengthening communities around increased walking and bicycling.
  • Integrating Bike-Ped Topics into University Curriculum
    We support transportation planning and engineering faculty in integrating bicycle and pedestrian topics into their courses.
  • Student Study Abroad: Sustainable Transportation in the Netherlands with PSU
    An immersive experience to explore the Dutch approach to cycling, transit, innovative mobility and land use.
All trainings are held in Portland, Oregon. IBPI is a program of the Transportation Research and Education Center (TREC) at Portland State University.
This will add you to a contact list for future announcements of these annual active transportation trainings.
