Shifting mode choice towards transit and active transportation, and shortening automobile trips and increasing carpooling, are critical components to building efficient, equitable, and sustainable cities, and is also essential to accommodating Maryland’s changing demographic composition.

MDOT in Motion is a series of webinars, interactive sessions, and educational opportunities offered by the Maryland Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Office of Active Transportation and Micromobility. The series highlights multi-modal projects and programs that are designed to get Marylanders moving safely, and to connect them to opportunities and to each other. In Maryland, Complete Streets is the deliberate approach to planning and designing streets for all users, MDOT in Motion demonstrates opportunities to make options like walking, biking, and transit more accessible. Please note that webinars are capped at 1000 registrations, so if you do not plan to attend in real time, please do not register. The recording of the webinar will be made available after for viewing.
The August 7, webinar from 12-1pm will explore back to school safety and actions anyone can take to ensure the safety of children traveling to and from school. MDOT's renewed Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiative includes a state agency working group and a focus on both non-infrastructure and infrastructure improvements across the state. Guest speaker Duwan Morris will showcase Montgomery County engagement for SRTS and what a PTA or community member can do in preparation for a new school year. Invited school stakeholders will share what students can do to be safe travelling to school and what students can do to make a difference at their schools.
Creating Infrastructure to Better Connect All Marylanders to Opportunities and Each Other is a core mission of Governor Moore and Lt. Governor Miller administration; this webinar series is supported by MDOT's fellow state agency, the Maryland Department of Planning.
