Engineering

Motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists are dependent on

community transportation systems for mobility and access.

WE BIKE is experienced in incorporating the unique wants

and needs of pedestrians and bicyclists for both recreation

and transportation.

From trail design and assessments to sidewalks and on-

road/off-road bicycle facility recommendations, WE BIKE’s

Planning and Engineering Services will help integrate

walking and bicycling for a safer and more sustainable

community.

about teaching, and each candidate will have opportunities during the

seminar to practice facilitating parts of the Traffic Skills 101 curriculum,

both in the classroom and in the parking lot. The seminar is normally

one evening and two full days. Generally, 1/3 of the time is on-bike, so

Enforcement

Law enforcement officers don’t enforce laws that they

don’t know and they don’t enforce laws that they can’t

defend – yet they are the only ones who enforce laws - for

pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists to improve safety.

Officers come in contact with pedestrians, bicyclists and

motorists on a daily basis, resulting in a unique position to

assist with and add credibility to community efforts to

encourage walking and bicycling, improving safety.

Are your officers prepared to enforce for pedestrian and

bicycle safety?
