“Community, education & safety: community, education & safety programs are multi-age education, safety and advocacy programs including bike smart, safe routes for all, everyday bicycling project, and complete streets. Bike smart is local motion's youth education program, giving preference (and scholarships) to schools with a high percentage of students receiving free and reduced lunch. This program has reached over 70 towns in all 14 vermont counties. Safe routes for all is a comprehensive program designed to make all road users safe while using our roadways. The goal of this program is to increase walking and biking by improving the safety of our streets. The everyday bicycling project includes workshops that are inclusive and accessible to be as inviting as possible for anyone who is interested in bicycling more. Workshop leaders are experienced transportation bicycle riders who work hard to create a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere that recognizes that everyone will engage in bicycling at their own levels. The innovative and free e-bike lending library based in burlington plus satellite and traveling libraries around the state provides increased accessibility to residents to try bicycling as a sustainable mode of transportation. Local motion's complete streets is focused on improving on-street infrastructure and policy at both the state and local levels, with the goal of making vermont streets safe and comfortable for all users. We work towards this through a variety of means, including organizing and coalition building, forming and supporting local walk/bike groups, gathering community feedback and providing technical assistance for infrastructure proposals, and helping municipalities experiment with new infrastructure at a low cost through the use of our pop-up project mobile support unit.”
