Over the last three years, communities worldwide have implemented quick-build facilities to increase safety and access for people biking. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern that explored the state-of-the-practice in quick-build bicycle facility planning and design, including safety outcomes, community engagement, and local politics. Presenters shared the implementation, implications, and continued assessment from several case studies.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Bicycle Transportation.
