Complete Streets and Transportation Choices Training
How to Get the Walking, Biking and Transit Options Your Community Deserves!
Sierra Club’s first national Complete Streets training in Minneapolis.
Application Deadline: 12:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 27, 2012
When: December 7-9, 2012
Where: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Applicants will be notified whether they are accepted to attend by October 1, 2012.
What’s a complete street? In short, it’s a street built for everyone — transit riders, bicyclists, and people on foot — as well as cars. Complete streets give people options to get around without oil and increase safety for everyone, and they’re a key part of building local transportation solutions that will move us Beyond Oil.
At this training, from December 7-9th, Sierra Club volunteers will come together to learn how to build a robust, volunteer-driven campaign to bring complete streets to their community, and how complete streets fit within a broader strategy to shift our transportation system away from oil.
We’re looking for volunteers and activists– especially those who are moving up the “leadership ladder”– who are excited to build a campaign to bring transportation solutions to their community.
The deadline to apply is September 26th, and the application can be found here. There are a limited number of spaces for this training; if a volunteer is selected to attend, the Sierra Club will cover travel and lodging costs.
Thanks for all you do,
Rachel Butler
