Washington Bikes is excited to begin collaborating with newly elected and re-elected public leaders to build connected and safe bike\/walk routes that get people where they need to go, and advance policies that make our streets safer for all.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Last week, Washington voters turned out in force, <\/span>breaking records for the most turnout ever<\/span><\/a> in the state. Almost all of <\/span>Washington Bikes\u2019 endorsed candidates<\/span><\/a> won their race, securing seats in elected office to work towards our shared goals of safer biking, walking, and rolling. Voters demonstrated overwhelming support for local transportation investment ballot measures and elected officials who support healthier and safer communities through better bicycling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your continued support and engagement with Washington Bikes and voting on Election Day made these election wins possible. We plan to work with these new and re-elected leaders starting from their first day in office, and holding them accountable to commitments to safe biking and walking infrastructure, active transportation funding, and support for bike tourism in order to secure our endorsement.<\/span> Thank you for making your voice, in support of safe biking and walking, heard at the ballot box!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
