The Third Mode Bonus Chapters: Progress in Walking, Bicycling, and Micromobility for Transportation

Since publishing The Third Mode a decade ago (the book was launched on one of the first American Trails webinars The Third Mode: Connecting Greenways, Trails and Active Mobility), Jeff has added to his long list of stories to share with our community.

For this webinar, he'll talk about three of them:

1. Co-founding of Citi Bike,
2. Building the Empire State Trail, and
3. Developing re:Charge-e for e-bikes/scooters

All of these topics will tie to the central concept of “the third mode” (we can’t solve problems by only looking at two polar opposites). It's been a great ride for several decades. Join us for this new American Trails webinar and see what's next on the horizon.
