WEBINAR—Street Typologies: An organizing framework for more walkable, bikeable streetsTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pmLocation: Les Lyle Room, 4th Floor, Wells Fargo Bank, 99 E Broadway, Eugene, OR 97401, USA
Description:Many cities transportation goals have shifted in recent years-- becoming more multimodal, safety-focused, and equitable. While cities transportation goals have changed, many still rely on the Federal Functional Classification System, which prioritizes vehicle mobility and access, as the main framework for organizing, designing, and managing their streets. Recognizing this dissonance, cities are developing new street typology systems that better align their approach to streets with overall transportation goals. This presentation will share strategies used in Des Moines, IA and Phoenix, AZ to develop new street typologies that align with existing and future land use and create more walkable, bikeable streets.

LiveMove: Stories from an AdvocratTime: 5:00 pm – 7:30 pmLocation: Falling Sky Brewing House, 1334 Oak Alley, Eugene, OR 97401, USA

Jenna Berman has been at ODOT serving as an “Active Transportation Liaison” for 3.5 years. Before taking on this new agency position, she worked at Bicycle Colorado - a statewide nonprofit bicycle advocacy organization - for eight years. While at Bicycle Colorado, Jenna taught bicycle and pedestrian education to thousands of students statewide and launched the Colorado Bike School, which teaches both kids and adults how to ride bikes for the first time. She also worked with local jurisdictions and workplaces on promoting active transportation in their communities and for employees.
From Bicycle Colorado to ODOT, Jenna went from nonprofit advocacy to working within a large bureaucratic system – hence the name “advocrat.” These advocrats (each ODOT region has one) are heartfelt advocates who are now embedded in a larger bureaucratic system, working toward culture change. It is a unique role with a lot of lessons learned (and many more to come) about how to effectively bring about change.
