Re: The Second Annual Pro Bike/Pro Walk Florida Conference,
St. Augustine, April 19 - 21, 2006

Cyclists, walkers, runners - consider this road trip recommended by:
Christopher A. Hagelin,
Research Associate and avid cyclist,
Center for Urban Transportation Research, USF
813-974-2977 (office/voice mail)

This conference is a collaborative effort of many agencies involved with bicycle and pedestrian issues. We are hoping that each person attending will leave with new tools and vision to improve the environment for bicyclists and pedestrians in our beautiful state.

This is the first statewide conference dealing with both pedestrian and bicycle issues.

The issues are broad, complex and intertwined: For Florida to become truly pedestrian- and bicyclist-friendly, those of us at this conference, as well as those unable to attend, must seek improvements in traffic safety education and law enforcement, transportation facility design and operation, development regulations, and attitudes toward these environmentally friendly and health-building modes of transportation.

The many sessions at the conference will help us all progress toward this worthy goal of improving our state for walkers, runners and bicyclists. While at the conference, we hope you will learn new approaches to issues you deal with, learn about other issues you should get involved in, and ways to network and make new friends who can support you in your efforts.
