Hello WVCC supporters:

In ten short weeks, we will all (I hope) be attending the 2016 WV Bike Summit. We are extremely excited and proud of the program we have put together for you. Please register today at http://wvconnectingcommunities.com. You can also view the program WV Bike Summit 2016 — Charleston Marriot, January 24 & 25, 2016 by clicking on this link. Thanks to Maple Creative for keeping our website up to date!! And to the Rahall Transportation Institute for doing the Bike Summit registration. 

Please share Bike Summit links to all of your networks. We are working on some special incentives for those that register early (aside from saving money). 

I also want to be sure that all of you know that we are working on our 2016 Legislative Agenda. We are looking at a statewide implementation plan for walking and biking; flexibility for municipalities and other jurisdictions when it comes to speed limits, cross walks, etc.; and dedicated funding for bike/ped infrastructure. If you are interested in working on the agenda, please email me. We are also working with AARP on their Complete Streets Legislation that was passed a couple of years ago. 

Thanks, Kasey
