Bike&Walk Montclair

Description

"Bike Montclair" was founded in 2002 [the name was changed in 2009] with the idea that Montclair could one day become a safe haven for walking and bicycling. Today, we're a small, dedicated and growing group of volunteers that envisions bicycling and walking as a safe, appealing and feasible choice for all users and all trips, building a strong community fabric on a more human scale. We eagerly seek new members from Montclair and surrounding communities.

1. Membership: Represent and serve all people from the Montclair region that bike and walk through organizing and building an active and engaged volunteer-base and paid membership of "2017 by 2017".
2. Education and Encouragement: Increase the number of people who bike or walk daily by 50% from 2011 levels and increase annual participation by 50% in bicycle safety, educational activities, and awareness programs across Montclair for people of all ages and backgrounds by 2017.
3. Advocacy: By 2017, our successes have led to transportation policies and funding priorities that proportionally reduce biking and walking related collisions, injuries, and fatalities by 50% from 2010 levels and result in integrated and safe infrastructure and supporting facilities across the Montclair region.
4. Building Organizational Capacity: Secure diverse and sustainable funding, a motivated and knowledgeable staff, collaborative partnerships, and effective governance to support our projected membership, advocacy, and education goals.
