Nashville MPO Active Transportation Funding Policy Webinar [cid:image003.jpg@01CDDD3E.D3276E60] Tuesday, January 29, 2013 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST Presenter: Leslie Meehan, Director of Healthy Communities, Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Overview of the Nashville MPO Active Transportation Funding Policy The Center TRT is pleased to host Leslie Meehan, with the Nashville Metropolitan Planning Organization, on January 29, 2013, to share the MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy, posted on the Center TRT website (http://www.centertrt.org/?p=intervention&id=1156)156). The MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy includes two key elements: (1) dedicated funding for both active transportation infrastructure and education about active transportation and (2) the application of scoring criteria - which drives project funding - that incorporates active transportation indicators. This initiative has the potential to improve the health of community members by facilitating active transportation and creating safer environments for biking and walking. The Nashville Area MPO's Active Transportation Funding Policy and the scoring criteria were adopted in December 2010. Since then, the MPO has continued to expand its work in active transportation. This hour-long webinar will provide: * an overview of the Center TRT intervention review, including core elements, evidence-base, and potential public health impact * a presentation by Leslie Meehan of the Nashville MPO on the implementation of the Active Transportation Funding Policy, including lessons learned and resources needed to support implementation * a Q & A session To register for this webinar, please click here.<http://www.centertrt.org/?p=training_webinars_nashville_mpo> Note: The live webinar is limited to 250 participants, but the presentation will be archived and posted to the Center TRT website for access following the live presentation.
