2012
Texas Trails and Active Transportation Conference
Wednesday, Feb. 1 through Friday, Feb. 3, 2012
Active Transportation is actively growing and
includes hiking trails, bike lanes, urban pedestrian corridors,
paddling trails, government initiatives in rural, suburban
and city areas. It encompasses recreational, work, school
related and wellness focused activity for participants from
all walks of life.
San Antonio is the perfect place in February
to witness and experience this burgeoning interest in Trails
and Active Transportation.
Building from the very successful 2010 TTAT
Conference in Austin, in February 2012 we’ll have something
for everyone involved in the planning, construction, funding,
economics, operation, management, promotion and use of active
transportation.
Partnerships are important so once again Texas
Trails Network and BikeTexas are bringing together municipal/state
government, non-profit transportation advocacy groups, trail
users, transportation engineers and planners and private businesses
to share current information and examples.
Bring your hiking boots, bicycles, walking
shoes, kayaks or canoes and water bottles to get a comprehensive
look and see how you can impact Trails and Active Transportation
in your area and across the state.
Register now for 3 days of hands on and in-classroom
information targeted to anyone interested in Trails and Active
Transportation! Perfect for anyone who plans, funds, builds,
advocates for, designs, programs, oversees, promotes, influences
or uses trails!
Host Hotel: El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel,
San Antonio, Texas
