big thank you to all of you that made it such a great event!
Check out the Photo Album below for some of the action.
Attendees at got an early look at new and effective
funding, advocacy, planning and implementation aspects of
Texas Trails. Session presentations covered all aspects of
trails and active transportation including keynote speeches
by Texas Senator Rodney Ellis and TREK CEO John Burke, as
well as innovative programs such as "Better Block",
"Modeling the Benefits of Green Infrastructure"
and "Boltage."
Awards were presented at the conference to
some of the well deserving folks that make Texas trails possible
and help to encourage active transportation for the betterment
of our health and environment.
The board and staff at BikeTexas is currently developing a strategic plan for the future of these two sister statewide organizations, a 501c4 advocacy non-profit and a 501c3 education non-profit. One of the first tasks is to get input from people interested in bicycling and / or walking about the future direction of BikeTexas. Whether you are a bicyclist, or a member of BikeTexas, your input will be appreciated.
