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. These officials will advance policies that make our streets safer for all.<\/span><\/h2>\n

This November, voters elected 90 percent of <\/span>Washington Bikes\u2019 endorsed candidates<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0 who support healthier and safer communities through better bicycling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voters\u2019 continued support and engagement with Washington Bikes made these election wins possible. We plan to work with these new and re-elected leaders starting from their first day in office, holding them accountable to their commitments to safe biking and walking infrastructure, active transportation funding, and support for bike tourism. Thank you for making your voice, in support of safe biking and walking, heard at the ballot box!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A handful of impressive new candidates to elected office won their race. When they take office January 1, they will bring with them fresh ideas, perspectives gained through a diversity of lived experience, and a commitment to championing policies that will make biking safer and accessible in their community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
