The Fresno International Transportation Innovations Summit – PEDAL 2023
October 27-28, 2023 at the Fresno Convention Center
PEDAL 2023 is a regional and international conference aimed at gathering transportation professionals, policymakers, and other active and multi-modal transportation proponents around the world to promote safe and sustainable transportation design, planning, and policy through urban diplomacy and continued partnership.
PEDAL 2023 Summit is sponsored by the City of Fresno, the Fresno State Transportation Institute, and the Fresno Sister Cities project in collaboration with the City of Münster (the “bicycle capital” of Germany) and other local community-based organizations such as the Fresno County Bicycle Coalition and US Green Building Council. “PEDAL” was dubbed as this year’s focus, representing the region and international partners’ advancement of active transportation development through Planning, Education, Design, Advocacy, and Lifestyle (P.E.D.A.L.).
The objective is to promote and encourage sustainable transportation in the greater Fresno region and beyond, which suffers greatly given its geography, and the health burdens of air pollution generated by fossil-fuel-based transportation and agricultural systems, as well as climate-related wildfire smoke. Through regional and international effort of shared best practices in a variety of cities throughout the United States, Germany, and other countries, the PEDAL 2023 Summit hopes to foster newfound relations within the industry of city planning and transportation.
