Where do our elected officials stand on transportation issues you care about? Bike Walk Macon is hosting a fun opportunity to interact with our government leaders. We hope you’ll bring your friends, family, and neighbors and join us for a casual bike ride followed by an outdoor discussion dedicated to walking, biking, and access to transit!
What will our elected officials do to make streets safe for people walking, biking, and riding the bus? What investments are most pressing to realizing Macon’s potential for sustainable transportation modes? Get answers to these and more questions (including some submitted by you!).
Expect a casual bike ride, lively discussion, and informative evening.
