Amenities To Support Safety & Access - The Cowboy Trail 🤠 🚲 🏃‍♀️

The Cowboy Trail runs through some of the most rural parts of our state. It provides safe access to the outdoors for residents while also bringing vital tourism dollars to trailside communities.

Eighteen months in the making, with hours of community engagement later, the Cowboy Trail is now home to 20 new trailhead signs. Signage operates as an invitation, an educational tool, and a safety feature for trail users.

This couldn’t have happened without the collaboration and support of Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the Rails to Trails Conservancy

With this win under our belts, we’re looking to the future and dreaming big. Will you support the next chapter of collaborative advocacy work? A monthly donation supports our statewide momentum to make biking and walking a part of The Good Life.

From Pilot to (soon-to-be) Permanent - The Midtown to Market Bikeway 🏙️ 🚲 🚲 🚲 🌇

Five years ago, Bike Walk Nebraska funded and facilitated a pilot project to prove the concept and impact of a protected bikeway in Omaha. Findings showing a 136% increase in biking along the corridor made a strong case for allocated infrastructure.

And, last month we saw the first look at the permanent bikeway along Farnam.

Bike Walk Nebraska isn’t developing trail systems, constructing roundabouts, or painting crosswalks.

Instead, we ensure that when pen goes to paper and concrete is poured - the safety of those who bike and walk is a priority, not an afterthought.

And we know how to buckle in for the long haul to help decision-makers see the vision and need.

Help us keep pushing forward for years to come with a monthly donation today.

As the year winds down, we're asking our community to start thinking about what safe streets in Nebraska are worth to you.

Every dollar given to Bike Walk Nebraska goes toward the work of making biking and walking safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable across the state — through education, advocacy, and partnerships with the people building our streets and trails.

You don't have to wait until December to make your gift count. If you've been meaning to support this work, now's a good time to start.

National Slow Down, Move Over Day is October 17.

The day raises public awareness about "Move Over" laws, which are enforced in all 50 U.S. states to protect vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, first responders, law enforcement, construction crews and more.

Nebraska passed its Vulnerable Road User and Slow Down, Move Over law last year with the help of Senator Kathleen Kauth, Dr. Kim Latatcha and her family, Bike Walk Nebraska, AAA, and many citizens across the state and country who have been affected by the lack of awareness and protections for vulnerable road users.

We want to thank and recognize our partners, constituents, and friends who helped get this across the finish line and who work every day to make Nebraska safer for all road users.

Thank you to AAA for the coordinating the proclamation signing on Tuesday!
