We invite you to join the Grand Traverse Safe Streets Alliance at the Traverse Area District Library (Woodmere Branch) during the TART SmartCommute Week on Tuesday, June 3rd from 6pm to 8pm to discuss the Traverse City area potential for expanded non-motorized transportation for commuting and shopping.

At the session, we will have several short videos of current national success stories in cities that have expanded their non-motorized transit options.  We will discuss the benefits, approaches used, and how they addressed challenges.  There will be a panel discussion and open participation to spur ideas and discussion on how these best practice approaches could apply to Traverse City and the surrounding communities.

Before the panel, we’re also hosting a bike rally corral from 4:30pm to 6pm on the front lawn of the library. Bring your latest commuting bike purchase (e.g. cargo bike, pedal bike, E-bike, etc.) and show it off!  Tell others why you purchased it, what are the options you purchased and considered and why it works for you.  We will have examples from local bike stores as well.
