ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Throughout October, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), in coordination with several state agencies and other partners, will sponsor a series of 90-minute webinars, or Walkinars, to highlight how we can collectively rally around walking, an activity that is central to both the State’s Active Transportation efforts and to broader strategies to promote public health and well-being

The Walktober Walkinar series, hosted by the Maryland Department of Planning, will help planners, local officials, pedestrian advocates and the public at large learn how to plan and advocate for safe walking infrastructure. Panelists will identify key resources to build, strengthen and sustain local partnerships will share best practices from across the country for building accessible pedestrian networks for all ages and abilities.

Planners who participate in the live Walkinars will also be eligible to receive 1.5 Certification Maintenance (CM) credits from the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). Please note, that participation in the live broadcast is required to receive AICP credit.
