WTS Professional Development Committee Presents:
Commute-Based Community:
A Bike Tour of Philly's Bike and Walking Buses
(2 PDH)
Join WTS for a guided bike tour through Center City to explore how bike buses and walking buses are making travel safer, more visible, and more connected in Philadelphia.
Participants will learn about the Philly Bike Train, the City of Philadelphia’s Safe Routes Philly program, and other local initiatives that support safer walking and biking. The ride will be approximately 5 miles with 2–3 discussion stops along the route.
We welcome you to participate using your own bike or an Indego bike, with complementary access available to attendees. The tour will conclude back at the Indego station, followed by a happy hour at nearby Con Murphy's Irish Pub. First round is on us!
Come see how people-powered commutes are not only improving safety, but also bringing neighbors, families, and communities together.
Space is limited!
