“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: in 2020 we have reached the completion of 385 miles by providing strategic planning, technical assistance, and connections to financial resources, so communities can begin or continue developing bicycling in their area. These miles have created on-street bike lanes that provide a high level of comfort for all users, multi-use pathways that serve as transportation and recreation routes for people of all ages and abilities, mountain bike trails for a range of skill levels, and neighborhood bicycle routes so individuals, families, and children can get to local destinations, including work, school, parks, church, and businesses. The 1,000 miles campaign is assisting in the mid-valley active transportation plan, millard county bike plan, tri-city active transportation plan to improve interconnectivity between the cities and get them to improve interconnectivity between the cities and get them to consider protected and separated bike lanes and first last miles. Active transportation plans are guiding documents adopted by different government entities. They lay the foundation for what types of bicycle infrastructure will be built, where it will be built, and how it will be built. The 1,000 miles campaign has worked with 18 communities and 6 counties in 2020. Youth bicycle education and safety training program: during the 2020 school-year, the youth best program reached a total of 830 students.this numbe decreased due to the restrictions during the pandemic. However, a total of 12,736 students have participated in this program since its inception in 2016. This year 76.15% increase in bicycle safety knowledge and 100% of students learned all necessary on-bike riding skills. 63% increase in bicycling at participating schools. 76.47% of parents/guardians reported that their student is more interested in bicycling or walking to school post programming. In 2019, bike utah hosted the eleventh annual utah bike summit for more than 320 attendees. The utah bike summit gives bicyclists and other interested individuals the opportunity to come together in one place and learn from each other about safety, promotion of the bicycle as a healthy means of transportation, and many other concepts and ideas that meet the requirements for the intended use of these funds. Topics addressed in the utah bike summit included: the creation of safe bicycle networks, the nexus of active transportation and public health, improving rural bicycle networks, and crowdsourcing to inform active transportation planning. Successfully hosting the bike summit and its educational programs comes with many costs. These costs include, but are not limited to: travel/honorarium costs for speakers, printing costs, venue costs, and the portion of staff salaries used to plan and carry out the summit. The year, we made the difficult choice to postpone the 12th annual utah bike summit to 2021 due to covid-19, but are looking forward to hosting the event next year. Educational bicycle tours: bike utah is now in its seventh year of producing the mobile active transportation tours (matts) of educational events. Each of the matts educates planners, engi”
