Transforming Communities - PRO WALK/PRO BIKE 08:  September 2-5, 2008 Westin Seattle Hotel

Hundreds of people dedicated to achieving more active walkable and bikable communities are coming to Seattle the week after Labor Day to see and hear about the great progress the Puget Sound region has made creating healthier active communities.  Join bicycle, pedestrian, active living and climate change advocates, elected and appointed officials, bike/ped specialists, transportation experts, land-use planners, safe routes to school coordinators, public health practitioners, and many more who want to make our cities and communities more walkable and bicycle-friendly places. The 15th biennial Pro Walk/Pro Bike Conference is coming to the Pacific Northwest September 2-5, 2008. The Westin Seattle Hotel will be the headquarters for the event, but there will be ample opportunities to get out and see first-hand examples of great facilities and programs that are making Seattle and the Puget Sound a model city and region for the role of bicycling and walking in 21st century communities.  To learn more about this dynamic and comprehensive conference, and to register, go to this link
