BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Burlington nonprofit Local Motion is celebrating a big milestone.
The group, which is dedicated to making walking and biking a part of everyday Vermont life, turns 25 this year.
They work with communities to put in bike lanes, crosswalks, and sidewalks, and directly advocate at the Statehouse for the safety of all road users. They also run a bike rental center on Burlington’s waterfront and operate the popular bike ferry on the Colchester Causeway.
Executive director Christina Erickson is already looking ahead to the next 25 years. “I want to see every kid in Vermont learn how to ride a bike and learn how to ride a bike safely, not just 10,000 — every kid in Vermont — we would love to see that,” she said.
