Webinar: A smart transport mode: How to include walking as an obvious choice?

Swiss Pedestrian Mobility and the International Federation of Pedestrians are discussing successful strategies and concrete examples to learn from each other and to advance a paradigm shift. 

The webinar is organized as a virtual side event in the frame of the 5 High Level Ministerial Conference on the Transport Health Environment Pan European Programme THE PEP “Building forward better by transforming to new clean, safe, healthy and inclusive mobility and transport”.  

This webinar is an invitation to discuss insights and to play with narratives to boost walking as a form of active mobility – as a priority, by choice and as the best and smartest option in everyday life.

Therefore, let’s talk 1). about risk with a different look at statistics and consider its consequences for road (un)safety and active modal choice; 2). about how re-framing is empowering active mobility 3). to what extend does legal framework on international, national and local level influence and respect the pedestrians.
