I would like to introduce John Pucher who is the instructor for the Best Practices for Increasing Daily Bicycling: Lessons from Around the World Webinar that is co-hosted by the Active Living Research and ITE on Wednesday, August 14 at 3-4:30 p.m. EDT.
John has been a professor at Rutgers University since 1978, conducting research on transportation economics and finance, urban travel behavior, transportation systems, and government policies in the United States, Australia, Canada, and Europe. Over the past 15 years, John's research has focused on walking and bicycling, and how to improve their safety and convenience for all age groups, for women as well as men, and for all levels of physical ability. He encourages walking and cycling for recreation as well as for practical trips to work, school, and shopping to increase physical activity and to help people toward healthier lifestyles. John has published three books and over 100 articles in academic and professional journals. His most recent book with MIT Press is entitled “City Cycling.” John has spent several years as a visiting professor at universities in Germany, the Czech Republic, Canada, and Australia, and just returned from a semester on sabbatical as visiting professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
