Bike&Walk Montclair

We are a non-profit volunteer organization working toward a bicycle-friendly and walkable Montclair.

How do “tragic accidents” happen? By consistently choosing cars over people.

These aren’t accidents.

They’re the inevitable results of our choices.

Part of @tomflood1’s campaign to use car company marketing techniques against them.

People over cars. https://t.co/RzXSgtfGBX

If "Share The Road" feels more difficult/dangerous than it used to, it's because it is.

[Essex County Board of Commissioners @ECCommissioners]

Commissioner @BrendanWGill recently appeared on State of Affairs, hosted by @SteveAdubato, to discuss the #EssexHudsonGreenway, Essex County's acclaimed COVID Vaccination process, and the importance of civic engagement. @EHGreenway

5️⃣ days left to tell @NHTSAgov to start evaluating crash risk that cars/trucks pose to people *outside* the vehicle.

The USA is the outlier -- the EU, Korea, Japan, and Australia have been holding such tests for years.

@CouncilmanPagel @YIMBY_Princeton @BikeTarrytown @bikejc @TheWarOnCars @MiddlesexCmuter @NJBikeWalk @berkie1 @WalkPrinceton @BikeWalkMetuche Thanks for sharing & reminding us why we do this. The streets outside our homes shouldt be places we're afraid to go without a $20k box w/ airbags. Our niegborhoods should feel safe regardless of how we choose to travel or need to because of age, ability or income

[NJBikeWalkCoalition @NJBikeWalk]

It's #BiketoWork Day! Cyclists🚲 - be sure to follow all traffic signs and signals. Drivers – 🚗people biking have the right to use the road & #NJ now requires drivers to slow down, move over, and pass me like you know me #SafePass4NJ #BTWD2022 https://t.co/T4IFAFoagz

[NJBikeWalkCoalition @NJBikeWalk]

On Wednesday #bikenj joined thousands of cyclists around the world in the #RideofSilence2022 to honor those lost or severely injured in traffic violence and to say enough is enough. Zero is the only acceptable number of deaths on our roadways #VisionZero4NJ #SafePass4NJ

[Essex-Hudson Greenway @EHGreenway]

While #greenways like the @EHGreenway are important when it comes to #CompleteStreets, it’s also key to provide people with safe routes to access them. The @USDOTFHWA Complete Streets Initiative provides new guidance and resources for how to get there! https://t.co/Ka5zCS6Eb3

[NJTPA @NJTPA]

TODAY: @Passaic_County is hosting a virtual public meeting on its first Bicycle Master Plan! This study was funded through our Subregional Studies Program.

Spanish captioning will be provided.

Pedestrian fatalities are skyrocketing with the proliferation of SUVs, but @NHTSAgov refuses to regulate the size, weight, and shape of vehicles.
