Upgrade Your Existing Bike Lanes
Using paint and low-cost barriers, create separation between bikes, cars and sidewalks.
Complete Your Bike Network Quickly
Identify gaps in your bike network and create a six-month plan for connecting all the pieces.
Change The Way You Talk About Bikes
Review your communication tools to align with tested strategies that build public support.
Equitable Biking Is a Right
In partnership with community members, develop an equity program for safe biking.
