REC Midwest Fall 2018

About BikeWalkKC BikeWalkKC’s mission is to redefine our streets as places for people to build a culture of active living. Since our inception less than a decade ago, BikeWalkKC has become the leader for improving walking and bicycling in greater Kansas City. Our vision is a community that is barrier-free, has complete biking and walking access, and has a connected culture of active transportation and active lifestyles. As a member-supported 501c3 nonprofit organization, BikeWalkKC is leading a transportation transformation through advocacy, congregation, and education (ACE) to promote accessible alternative transportation and achieve our mission. Advocacy efforts include public policy, consulting and technical assistance, community planning and development, and initiatives to improve the built environment. BikeWalkKC leads the Complete KC coalition designed to increase the number of municipalities with Complete Streets policies across the region.

BikeWalkKC includes Women Bike KC Initiative as part of their outreach efforts to promote safe, active transportation for everyone.
