"The Secret to a Better City Is a Two-Wheeler", an article about e-bikes and the success of Denver & Colorado's e-bike rebate program.

Would a city-level rebate encourage you to buy an e-bike? If not, what would?

Today is the World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims.

We remember the 6 people we know about who lost their lives on Broomfield roads this year and honor them & their loved ones.

[Safer Streets Better Broomfield @SSBB_Colorado]

We also remember the first responders who are on-scene to help after these violent, traumatic crashes. And we continue to fight for safer streets for all.

Has the cost for your car insurance gone up recently? Owning and driving a personal vehicle is growing more and more expensive -- let's return to alternatives like walking and biking!

What do you think the newly-elected RTD board should focus on?

ICYMI: There was a lot of election news this week, and among that Denver metro area voters approved 7A to increase RTD funding without a tax increase. Great job and thanks to everyone who supported this!

There are 2 changes specific to Broomfield:

* AB1 route to airport increases frequency from every 60 minutes to every 30 minutes during some time periods

* Expansion of service area for North Broomfield Flex Ride

[Safer Streets Better Broomfield @SSBB_Colorado]

Don't be spooked -- there is still 1 day left to provide feedback to RTD on the proposed service changes!

[Broomfield FISH @BroomfieldFish]

This #ThankfulThursday, we are "wheel"-y grateful for the Broomfield Bike Club & their fundraiser for FISH at Broomfield Days! 🚴‍♀️ Not only did they put the pedal to the metal to raise almost $3,000, they also decked out their bikes to look like fish for the parade! 🐟🎉

[Safer Streets Better Broomfield @SSBB_Colorado]

Great news from @ColoradoDOT via the Transportation Commission: safety, maintenance, and climate-friendly transportation are now part of CDOT's policy directives and goals!

Did you notice a glow-up? New name and new logo: Broomfield Bikes is now Safer Streets Better Broomfield!

[Safer Streets Better Broomfield @SSBB_Colorado]

This change reflects a desire to be more inclusive and seek transportation equity for people of all ages, abilities, and transportation methods: people walking, skating, scootering, using wheelchairs, and riding public transit in addition to bikes.
