As a founder of Local Motion, Chapin has guided the growth of the organization by launching new ventures and engaging residents throughout northwestern Vermont. He currently focuses on new ventures, fundraising, and community partnerships for Local Motion while serving on many area boards (Chittenden County Transportation Authority, CarShare Vermont and Lake Champlain Bikeways). In his spare time, Chapin can be found dancing, paddling, hiking, swimming, and enjoying all the region's trails. |

Curiously, Brian's fate as co-founder of Local Motion came about not by way of an interest in bicycling directly. It was his love of boating and his passion for developing public access to Lake Champlain that inspired him to reconnect pieces of the abandoned and forgotten Island Line. This year the Bike Ferry, in its 10th year of operation, will log its 100,000th boarding.
Brian lives near the causeway in Colchester with his wife and two children. He is the Executive Director of the Colchester Land Trust and member of the Adirondack 46ers. Skiing, hiking, sailing, nordic skating, vintage cars and boats, alternative energy, history, and inventing, are a few of his many interests. |

Marion has been walking since she was seven months old, and this is still her favorite method of transportation. When she is not at Local Motion wielding wry wit, ably assisting administratively, or considering computing conundrums Marion can be found working in the garden, watching wildlife, solving puzzles for fun, or just plain old reading. |

Leslye is a transplanted New Yorker coming to Vermont for more snow! Walking, hiking and cross country skiing are her main activities but she finds just being outdoors in general is good enough. She has a strong office manager and bookkeeping background and does her best to keep all of us @ Local Motion free of the detailed, mundane and day-to-day tasks so we can concentrate on promoting people-powered transportation and recreation for healthy and sustainable Vermont communities.

Mary Catherine is a native Vermonter; she grew up on a dairy farm, and proceeded from there to a career in tree hugging. Working for Local Motion is a logical extension of the sustainability mindset--riding a bike, walking, hiking, moving on your own power--that's a huge piece of this puzzle. Mary Catherine coordinates outreach and safety training programs and events--spreading the word about how drivers, walkers and bikers can successfully share the road. You may have seen her at a helmet decoration table, or handing out Local Motion stickers. Mary Catherine loves being outside hiking, biking, snowshoeing or just walking around, sniffing the air and rolling over logs to see what crawls out. |

When Ron retired from Burlington Electric Department in 2004, he launched a recycle-a-bicycle effort in his backyard to serve the area's growing numbers of resettled refugees. Since then, Ron has continued to volunteer for many hours each week for Bike Recycle Vermont and has helped win numerous awards -- including from the United Way of Chittenden County, the Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce and the New England Grassroots Environmental Fund. Most recently, Ron's great work was recognized nationally on an eTown radio show. |

Jason joined Local Motion as Education and Safety Manager in 2009, and became the Director of Advocacy & Educaion in 2012. He is responsible for building and expanding Local Motion's highly successful BikeSmart program, the Safe Streets Collaborative, and other initiatives designed to make biking and walking safer and easier.
