“Planning initiatives wasatch bike plan - in an effort to increase the percentage of wasatch front communities with active transportation plans, bike utah worked with the following communities to apply for active transportation plan funding: the communities are: sandy, draper, millcreek, midvale, murray, taylorsville, holladay, clearfield, sunset, syracuse, clinton, and west point. All communities who applied receive funding this year. This means that of the four counties that make up the wasatch front (utah, salt lake, davis, and weber), 63% of the communities have a plan adopted or funded. 84% of the population in these 4 counties live in a community that has a plan adopted or funded. The remaining populations live in more rural areas and we will be working in the next year on coalitions of rural communities getting funding for at plans. 1,000 miles campaign we tracked over 132 miles of family friendly bicycle lanes, paths, and trails that were built in utah since 2017. We worked with over 11 counties, 21 communities, and 10 regional organizations in 2019 to plan new family friendly bicycle facilities. We began developing resources for communities to advance their efforts: advocacy toolkit and a planning & building funding opportunities list. We completed a list of nearly 40 funding opportunities and will continue to add to that list so communities know what funding is available to them. We partnered with udot and wfrc on a document for communities that will encourage developers to build infrastructure as part of new developments and provide guidance on other means for building infrastructure. We also completed two pilot projects of tactical urbanism in partnership with spin scooters and salt lake city completed september 5-8 and another with spin scooters and st. George completed october 20, 2019.

Midweek mountain bike race series- is an inclusive race series that keeps costs low and works to provide a family friendly environment so anyone at any level or age will feel comfortable participating. We ran a 13-race season with several younger riders participating in the season. P-town cross series- is a cyclocross race series that is a challenging form of bicycling. We had a 4 event race series in 2019 with an average race attendance of 80 participants with over 10 of the racers being under the age of 18 and first time cyclocross racers. Like the mid week mtb, we strive to make this an inclusive family-friendly experience that fosters learning and an introduction to the sport.
