What we do

Three program areas, woven across Montana.

We help Montanans get around safely on foot and by bike — teaching kids road skills, working for safer streets, and bringing neighbors together on group rides.

What we're working on

Four ways we make Montana easier to get around.

Whether you're a kid biking to school or a parent pushing a stroller, here's the work that's making your trip safer.

01

Teaching safe riding & walking

We give kids and adults the skills and confidence to get around safely — from bike rodeos to walking-to-school programs.

02

Speaking up for safer streets

We bring the voice of people who walk and bike to city halls and the Capitol, so safety is built in — not left as an afterthought.

03

Better roads, crossings & trails

We push for the laws, funding, and street designs that make every walk, ride, and roll safer across the state.

04

Bringing people together

We connect riders and walkers through group rides, events, and local chapters — turning neighbors into a statewide community.
