In 2010 eighty-eight people died while walking or biking on Virginia roads and over two thousand were injured doing these activities.
We need your help to make the roads safer.
Each year in September BWVA works with Drive Smart Virginia to sponsor the Virginia Cycling and Pedestrian Awareness Week. During Awareness Week we partner with organizations, companies, schools, colleges, and individuals across the state to spread a strong message that cycling and walking can be safe if we Share the Road.
In 2010 over 200 partners joined and held events, sent out news, ran media campaigns, and got out on bikes and their feet. We’re looking forward to 2011 being even bigger.
