Some trips are strictly by bike, some by bike/public transportation. And for those who see their commute as too long or too difficult, we continue to encourage everyone to think before they get in their car for that 1, 2 or 3 mile trip. This is where Footprints makes its biggest impact.

 Stickers are in! - put them on your driver's side window to remind you to make smart transportation choices.

Yesterday, a few dozen Active Trans members celebrated riding for fun and for transportation at Dutch Bike Company. Key draws of the member mixer event were test rides of the store’s Bakfiets cargo bike and a viewing of a Chicago police training video recently produced by Active Trans consultants at the Chicago Department of Transportation. The 13-minute video gives police officers the tools to enforce traffic safety laws as they apply to motorists and cyclists sharing the road. The video underscores two key component of Active Trans’ work: increasing safety and educating road users. You can see how thrilled our members were to see the training video. 

We are excited to announce that anyone can now join Active Trans at any dollar level with specific benefits and premiums depending on the level of membership.
