What is the role of the Organizing Committee in the Bike Summit?
The Organizing Committee plans to host the bike summit. Committee members will work with existing bicycle advocacy groups and individuals and community groups to plan a program that will bring together, engage and educate all types of bicyclists from novices to experienced riders, and even concerned non-bicyclists interested in cleaner air, safer streets and other benefits of bicycling. Drawing on the model of LA's successful Bike Summer, the program will include plenty of space for community members to come forward and host sessions. The Committee has an open membership; bike advocates interested in participating and helping plan the Summit can attend the meetings listed on the schedule and contact info [at] losangelesbikesummit.org for more information.
What is the role of the Urban & Environmental Policy Institute in the Bike Summit?
UEPI will host meetings of the Organizing Committee and will fundraise for, staff and administer the summit in collaboration with the Committee and volunteers. UEPI will also provide other organizations involved with tools and assistance for fundraising. UEPI's long history of working with grassroots community groups will serve to broaden the constituencies involved in the summit and in the ongoing bicycle advocacy movement.
