Walk Bike LI Summit: Meet the Panelists

While the coronavirus contagion recedes, the “epidemic” of pedestrian injury/death on Long Island streets is getting worse.

On Thursday, June 8, Walk Safe Long Island will host its first Walk Bike LI Summit at Farmingdale State College. An expert panel of traffic safety professionals, advocates, and engineers will respond to our keynote speaker and other thought-provoking questions related to safety surrounding walking and biking on Long Island.

Panelists will touch on the proliferation of micromobility devices like e-bikes, laws and regulations surrounding active transportation on Long Island, and how we can more safely share our streets to ensure safety for all road users.
