Entries tagged: Central Connecticut Bicycle AllianceBike Walk Connecticut is Launched!In March, the Central Connecticut Bicycle Alliance (CCBA) celebrated multiple successes and its fifth anniversary before a crowd of 150+ supporters, legislators, bike and outdoor industry, trail advocates, and many others. CCBA electrified the crowd with a public announcement that they are now Bike Walk Connecticut. With many legislative victories (3-foot law, complete streets, etc.) and encouragement from the Alliance, CCBA is embracing the opportunity to advocate for all bicyclists and walkers across the state. CCBA was also an Advocacy Advance Startup / Capacity Building Grant recipient last fall. Learn more at http://bikewalkconnecticut.org/.

In a huge victory for the Central Connecticut Bicycle Alliance (CCBA), Governor M. Jodi Rell has signed into law a bill intended to improve access for pedestrians and bicyclists. Under the bill, beginning October 1, 2010, a minimum of one percent of future highway and street funds must be directed to biking and walking projects. An advisory board will be established to work with the Governor, the Department of Transportation, and the Legislature. This bill was a key advocacy priority of the CCBA.
