First, Toks Omishakin is the Deputy Commissioner of Tennessee Department of Transportation, and the Vice Chair of the Council on Active Transportation for AASHTO. Under AASHTO's new organization the Council on Active Transportation is at the same level as their Council on Rail, Highway and Air travel.  Commissioner Omishakin will talk about the Council's new Strategic plan and how bicycling and walking advocates can work with their State DOTs to improve bicycling and walking in their State.

Then a panel discussion will inspire bicycling advocates to think holistically about development, transportation, housing, and land use in the work to build more equitable, healthy, and resilient communities.
