Fwd: DOH State Bike Plan /Meeting
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 08 May '12

08 May '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: DOH State Bike Plan /Meeting Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 13:36:47 -0400 From: Ella Belling <ella(a)montrails.org> Hi all, I am hoping you might have an interest in sharing ideas, brain storming and prioritizing bike routes, cycling issues, trail connections, etc. to bring to the DOH bike plan meeting on Tuesday, May 15. I would like us to *meet at 9:30AM on Saturday at the Morgantown Library* to come up with a strategy. If any of you have maps or a list of priorities already then PLEASE bring them to share with the group. Feel free to invite others. Morgantown Bike Board folks- do you have a plan already with priorities? It seemed like you worked hard on mapping it all out at one time. Bill- does the MPO already have a map with the list of priorities for the region? Do you have thoughts on what the DOH is wanting to pull from these meetings? I can only speak to possible rail-trail connections and extensions and feel weak on bike routes and road biking. Or issues that need to be addressed on prioritizing cycling with DOH projects. I will reserve a library room if I hear back from a few of you. Flexible on the meeting time but library closes at 1PM. Look forward to hearing from you, Ella Ella Belling Executive Director Mon River Trails Conservancy P.O. Box 282 Morgantown, WV 26507 www.montrails.org <http://www.montrails.org> 304-692-6782

One good place for a photo might be several commuter types in the multi modal center. -----Original Message----- From: "Derek Springston" <dspringston(a)gmail.com> Sent 5/4/2012 10:12:02 AM To: "Bike Board - Morgantown" <bikeboard(a)cheat.org> Subject: [Bikeboard] Fwd: Fwd: Bicycle Friendly Community Award To All BB Members, From Frank's April 28th email, he expressed the need to complete 5 items below in order to prepare for our Bicycle Friendly Community Award. Traci Liebig and I have agreed to tackle the Community Profile in Item #3. However, my piece will be to get some photos for that profile. This will be your chance to build your 'reputation' as you'll go on the LAB's BFC website! :) As Traci pointed out, here's a link to what we'll need to create for Morgantown. http://www.bikeleague.org/programs/bicyclefriendlyamerica/communities/bfc_b… 1. I'm asking for at least 3 Bike Board members to volunteer for a photo shoot at one to three locations around Morgantown. Will likely take 1-2 hours (by bike hopefully). 2. Then, I need those volunteers to fill out this Doodle poll, so we can schedule a time before Wednesday next week. http://www.doodle.com/rs5zsnf68bfm2v2r 3. Last, I need BB members to recommend 3 locations they'd like to see us take photos at for this community profile. I can pick them, but I'd like input. 4. Can someone else recommend a backup camera? I have a good one from work, but if it's being used I won't be able to get it, so we should have a backup. Purpose of this is to obtain 3 photos of cyclists in Morgantown at key locations that show we're a Bicycle Friendly community. We need at least one photo showing several cyclists at one location. Would be nice to have 2 or 3 photos with cyclist in them depending on folks availability. I've got a nice work camera available for use, assuming it's not out for work. If you plan on helping out, please volunteer and fill out the Doodle poll ASAP, so we can coordinate and plan according to weather.

Bicycle Plan Funding
by Jonathan Rosenbaum 02 May '12

02 May '12

Unfortunately, tomorrow I won't be able to attend our most exciting meeting ever. However, I want to add to the discussion about funding. Since the last meeting I have watched 3 webinars that I encourage everyone to watch because they provide great funding training as well as an overview of successful programs: Building a SRTS Bike Brigade: Tips on Getting Started and Spreading the Success:http://www.saferoutesinfo.org/events-and-training/srts-webinars/bbr… Leaving No Stone Unturned: Tips and Tricks for Funding Your SRTS Program: http://www.saferoutesinfo.org/events-and-training/srts-webinars/funding-tips Bike Sharing in the United States: State of the Practice and Guide to Implementation:http://www.walkinginfo.org/training/pbic/lc_webinar_04-26-20… Some of the important lessons I gleaned from watching these webinars were that these programs are funded from multiple sources, not just grants. Grants are not necessarily considered until a program has established enough support. Grants writing is often farmed out to supportive organizations that have grant writers on staff. What the Bicycle Board requires is a *strategic funding team/committee* as a prerequisite to grant-writing. Each objective has its own peculiarities and granularities. A grant request without a realistic plan and budget for an organization's objective is almost guaranteed not to be accepted. But objectives like a SRTS bike brigade are messy because they first require strong support from the target audience, and without this support it is futile to seek funding sources. So a strategic team would examine each objective and recognize what conditions are required to exist before the doors can be opened for funding, and then target a spectrum of funding sources based on the requirements. There is a significant difference between funding a SRTS program and funding a bike sharing program. With a small SRTS program, funding from foundations, organizations, PTA efforts, and a few supportive local businesses would probably suffice (see list below), but with a bicycle sharing program the funding requirements would be more acute, and therefor require a broader range of support and funding. Page 14 of the pdf presentation <http://www.walkinginfo.org/training/pbic/collateral/04_26_12_Bike_Share_Web…> provides an overview of these funding sources on the Bike Sharing page. Here is a list of funding sources and strategies from "Leaving no stone overturned" which discusses walking programs, but the same logic can be applied to bicycling programs: Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) Business sponsorship School District Foundation Hospital Foundation (good advocacy for them) Public Health (city or county) - if not grants may provide in-kind support (printing, mailing) State Department of Health grants. Local Health Department could help write the grants SRTS has a mini-grant program of about $1,000 Blue Cross/Blue Shield Health Foundation (lots of money) Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (reverse child obesity) Appalachian Stewardship Foundation (Added by Jonathan Rosenbaum) After a smaller grant record has been established and your program is growing, funding could be sought from these foundations: Kaiser Pemanente W.K. Kellogg Foundation Complex grants for a much larger program: Federal SRTS Funding (Need highly experienced grant writers. Could partner with City Planning or Public planning) Get media involvement because it establishes the programs reputation with foundations: Local Celebrities Policy Makers Questions that should be constantly revisited throughout the program: Where are you now? Where do you want to go? How will you get there? Grant related questions: Does your project fit in with a foundations mission? What is a typical grant size they give? What should be in your grant application? Realistic budget, include in-kind or partner support. Reasons why you will you succeed. Foundations want to be good stewards and have success and good stories to tell. Letter of support to show how previous funding led to current request. What happens when your organization actually gets a grant? Always give recognition and media spotlight to foundations that have provided grants. Share the success with your partner. Establish a method to measure your success. Show enthusiasm for all grants regardless of size. I didn't discuss everything, but I hope you will watch these webinars especially, "Leaving No Stone Unturned" and "Bike Sharing in the United States". I think you will agree with me that a strategic funding team would make the funding process more obvious, easier and less time intensive for everyone involved. -Jonathan

Agenda for next Thursday's Monthly BB meeting
by Frank Gmeindl 02 May '12

02 May '12

Bicycle Board Members, I usually send you a draft agenda the week before our regular monthly meeting but this month, I'd like to try something different. I've been thinking that the draft agenda is essentially a "box" and my transmission of it asks you to respond to what's in the box. Recently, I have observed declining member responses to communications and declining participation in board activities. So, today, no box. Please reply-to-all and say what you would like the board to accomplish at next Thursday's meeting. Feel free to include any other information that might help the board to succeed in accomplishing your objective, e.g. how much time you'll need, members and resources you'll need, your approach, etc.. Hopefully, this approach will give you an opportunity to "think outside the box" and increase BB member participation. The meeting will still start at 6:30 PM in the PSC Conference Room and I'd like to reserve about 10 minutes at the end for us to evaluate this approach. Frank D. Gmeindl Chairman, Morgantown Municipal Bicycle Board LCI #1703 491 WilsonAvenue Morgantown, WV 26501 304-376-0446 Cyclists fare best when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles

Re: [Bikeboard] Coming Soon from AASHTO: Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, 4th Edition
by Frank Gmeindl 02 May '12

02 May '12

Damien, Thank you for notifying us of the availability of the new AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities. The link in your message enables ordering the paper book but do you know if the City can get an electronic version to which the BB can have unfettered access? I reviewed the draft Guide approximately a year ago. Unlike the 1999 Guide, it is now very well aligned with the 2009 MUTCD. These two documents provide a sound foundation for transportation infrastructure development. Every transportation official, traffic engineer and self-styled "advocate" should know these guides. Personally, I find them not perfect, for example putting the shared lane marking somewhat in the door zone but at least they serve as a somewhat responsible reference unlike the NACTO guide which contains several recommendations for "facilities" such as contra-flow bike lanes whose merits are unproven and that appear simply dangerous to any knowledgeable experienced cyclist. In the case of all these guides, there seems to be a paucity of objective empirical data to verify the safety most of the innovative recommendations. Nevertheless, I would like to have ready access to them, perhaps even through BikeMorgantown.com. Frank D.
