Learning Objectives

Replicate effective community engagement strategies when working in

similar contexts to promote active transportation and equity enhancing

results to support healthy communities.

Broaden and/or establish a network for connecting with peers beyond the

conference for shared learning opportunities, tools and strategies for

advancing the field.

Take advantage of HKHC and ALM dissemination materials that will be

available to share with attendees, describing multiple communities'

efforts related to active transportation, partnership development and

community engagement.

Engage in a realistic dialogue with on-the-ground professionals who have

developed successful community partnerships to better understand what

works as well as approaches that did not work.
