Our call to action is to address rising bicyclist and pedestrian fatalities, which reached an all-time high in Colorado in 2023. No matter where they are in Colorado, people of all ages and abilities have the right to bike and walk without fear for their safety. Our strategies and goals are our response to this crisis. Together, we can make Colorado a safe place to bike, walk, and roll.
Throughout our strategic plan, we reference “bike-friendly environments.” Here is our vision for a bike-friendly environment:
Places where people feel safe and respected while biking and walking. Bike-friendly environments have infrastructure and laws prioritizing the safety and dignity of bicyclists and pedestrians. Bike-friendly environments allow people to safely ride and walk to jobs, schools, parks, and essential services. Bike-friendly environments have quality public transportation. Bike-friendly environments have a culture that values the diversity and dignity of all people traveling in public spaces, especially people biking and walking.
We advocate for funding, laws, policies, and programs that prioritize the safety of all people who bike and walk, expand mobility options, and foster a culture that values the diversity and dignity of all people traveling in public spaces.
We provide education, tools, and support so everyone can safely and confidently travel in public spaces by bike, foot, and other modes, live a car-light lifestyle, and cultivate the skills to advocate for bike-friendly environments.
We bring together people of all backgrounds and experiences to cultivate the relationships needed to build bike-friendly environments and experience the joy and sense of community that come from riding bikes.
We grow and diversify our membership and supporter base, engaging with them in ways that strengthen their connection to our mission and catalyze action to build bike-friendly environments.
We create a supportive workplace where people of all backgrounds and identities can apply their passion, unique perspectives, and skills to meaningful projects, working alongside equally passionate and talented teammates who share a deep desire to build bike-friendly environments.
We are dedicated to advancing evidence-based policies and programs that make biking and walking safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable for everyone in the state.
