Goals of the Summit
Connect the Valley. Bring community members and local leaders together to share solutions and spark new partnerships for safer walking and biking.
Equip with real tools. Showcase proven projects and hands-on activities so attendees leave with templates, checklists, and ideas they can use right away.
Catalyze action. Help every community commit to concrete next steps—and link them to funding and resources to make it happen.
