Networking Opportunities and the Future of Multimodal
On Wednesday, October 25th TMACC’s Fall Membership Luncheon featured multimodal planner, Jeremy Chrzan as he presented his program to members: “We Can Do Better! What’s Holding Us Back?”
Jeremy is a nationally-known multimodal influencer who is passionate about the bicycle- and pedestrian-built environment. His keynote presentation dove into the problems and how to overcome them.
Pedestrians are mothers with strollers, children walking to school, seniors strolling, transit riders, shoppers in parking lots, customers in our downtowns, and people just out for exercise/walk. Cyclists are commuters, children riding to school, and people out for exercise. They are our grandparents, mother and fathers, sisters and brothers, our spouse/significant other, children, neighbors, friends, and coworkers. They are our community, and yet, we still have challenges in prioritizing their needs when they are on foot or on bike.
Jeremy’s combined years of design and permitting experience–along with his technical knowledge of design guidance, research, and national best practices–communicated how to identify key project issues and practical solutions for all modes of transportation.
As usual, the lunch was preceded and followed by significant networking with planners, engineers, municipal leaders, elected officials, and corporate representatives in attendance to learn and share ideas.
Chrzan is the lead engineer for the forthcoming AASHTO Bike Guide, the recently released Ohio DOT Multimodal Design Guide, and numerous City, State, and National design guides. Jeremy is a NACTO Certified Trainer and an Executive Committee member of the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals.
