| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Our advocacy to enable more people to bicycle in California employs four main strategies: (1) building the infrastructure, starting with communities that need it the most, using designs that make it easy for everyone to bicycle, not just athletic and confident people; (2) mainstreaming the bicycle in all of California's cultures;(3) protecting bicyclists' rights through education, improvements in enforcement, and by changing the law to improve bicyclists' rights; and (4) strengthening the movement, especially at the local level where our local partners advocate in their communities. Our "Bikeways to Everywhere" initiative covers strategy 1; the summit and conference is mostly strategy 4. Program expenses include two main programs from strategies 2 and 3. One is our work to expand open streets events and bike share programs. These events put official stamps of approval on bicycling as a community activity and as a transportation option, respectively. The other is our work to change the Vehicle Code to make more explicit the right it gives to bicyclists to ride side-by-side in most circumstances. |
