Bike Walk Tompkins

Bike Walk Tompkins Bike Walk Tompkins (BWT) grew out of the organizing group for Streets Alive! Ithaca and provides a central push for active transportation (i.e.

Join the movement to make Ithaca and Tompkins County a community where walking, biking and rolling are safe and convenient for people of all ages and abilities. biking and walking) in Tompkins County, through outreach & education, equipment & services. We work collaboratively with other people and organizations to change the culture and infrastructure in Ithaca and Tompkins County so that more peo

ple can embrace active transportation in their everyday lives. By making active transportation more prevalent and reducing the use of personal automobiles for short trips, our community will reap the multiple health, environmental, economic and social benefits associated with strong active transportation networks. In 2019, we unveiled our action plan for Ithaca and Tompkins County, the Bicycling for Everyone Plan (https://everyone.bikewalktompkins.org). Bike Walk Tompkins was formally organized in May 2014 and is currently a program of the Center for Community Transportation, a local non-profit with the mission of enhancing community access to transportation while reducing the negative environmental and economic impacts of car use. BWT has been generously funded in part by the Park Foundation.

Whether you're looking to get moving, meet new people, or simply enjoy the outdoors, we'd love to have you with us.
