Coalition staff provide training and support to schools state-wide on encouragement and education programs that help increase bicycling and walking.The Coalition provides an annual education conference geared towards transportation officials by bringing in a national expert to present on bicycle facility design. The conference also provides sessions for the grassroots advocate to ask for better cycling facilities in their communities.The Coalition works towards improving the safety of cyclists through safety education, community improvement, and encouragement activities. Our safety education program is based upon the national League of American Bicyclists' curriculum. We work for implementation of complete streets.
