Here's what active travel leaders are prioritising now 🌍 From road safety, physical well-being, to the liveability of cities, there are different topics that resonate strongly in different lines of work today. Listen to the panel conversation here: pathforwalkingcycling.com/path-symposi...

The first half of our symposium presenters highlighted the power of collaboration and data 🚲 🤝 Carly Gilbert-Patrick and Sofia Pires Bento show how collaboration drives active mobility, while 📊 Juliana DeCastro and Dana Yanocha stress data’s power with projects like Transporte Ativo & CyclingMax.

Our group of four panelists all represent various levels of leadership, but based on their stories, it's clear that active mobility can begin on any level as long as there is coordination among all stakeholders. The most important bit? Understanding 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙬𝙝𝙮 to create a resilient foundation.
