The Illinois Section of ITE is excited to host an ITE webinar featuring speakers from across the FHWA to provide information on the current efforts to advance Complete Streets implementations nationwide.
This will be our first in-person technical session in over two years, and we look forward to seeing you in person!
Webinar Description:
With the late 2021 passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), this webinar will provide timely information on the current FHWA efforts to advance Complete Streets implementations nationwide. As documented in the March 2022, FHWA report to Congress, the FHWA is committed to improving safety and accessibility for all modal users and this webinar will support the distribution of key information to stakeholders at multiple government levels and practitioners in the transportation field. The webinar will feature multiple speakers from across the FHWA to provide learning on policy, technical and financial facets of Complete Streets programs.
Attendees of this webinar will be able to:
List the safety guidelines and objectives that underscore the basis for Complete Streets designs.
Recognize the benefits of design models that are inclusive of all modes.
Explain the new funding program opportunities that are available for Complete Streets implementations, including Safe Streets for All ($5-6 billion in grants over the next five years). Highway Safety Improvement Program and others.
