Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Symposium
Friday, February 9, 2007
President's Conference Room East in the Miller Senate Building in Annapolis

Come and learn about bicycling and walking in Maryland. Learn about Bicycle 
Friendly Communities, Complete Streets, Recreational Trails Program, 
Transportation Enhancement Funding, trails being built and planned, and 
legislation that will affect you as a bicyclist and pedestrian.
Network with others who are working to make Maryland a better place for 
bicycling and walking.

Discuss bicycle and pedestrian issues with planners, other advocates, 
legislators, their staff, and visitors. Increase the General Assembly's 
awareness of walking and bicycling in Maryland.

Meet your legislators.  Let them know that bicycling and walking are 
important in their districts.

Bike-ped groups and government agencies are invited to have displays 
promoting any facet of bicycling and walking in Maryland. This symposium, 
scheduled for the legislative period, is an effective forum to show 
legislators the widespread interest in bicycling and walking in Maryland. 
Exhibits are expected from transportation, health, planning, recreation, 
tourism, and environmental organizations.
