Courses

A vital part of IBPI's mission is providing educational opportunities for students and practitioners to enhance their knowledge and expertise in all facets of policy development, policy, design, and programs that advance bicycle and pedestrian travel and safety. IBPI is offering professional development courses, and working with academics and professionals to create new courses and course curricula at the undergraduate and graduate levels that may be offered at one or more of our partner institutions.

The next professional development course we're offering is a week-long intensive workshop, titled Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Design and Planning. It is being offered on August 3-8, 2008. Download the registration form.
