  1. Advocate for bicyclists’ and pedestrians’ interests in county and city governmental policies

  2. Provide resources and education to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists to promote safety and awareness

  3. Work with citizens and likeminded organizations throughout the county to promote bicycle and pedestrian friendly communities.
