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).

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. |

Growing up outside of Boston in a one-car family, Jane walked, biked, and rode "the T" everywhere - long before these kinds of transportation were considered alternative. At Local motion, she makes friends and influences people - to join, to give and to volunteer - and loves hearing from members and donors about why they're involved and how we could be doing things even better.
When she's not writing grants or managing fundraising, membership or PR campaigns, Jane makes messes (and the occasional masterpiece) in the kitchen with local food from farmers she loves. She also runs, bikes, hikes, works at Nordic skiing and generally gets active outside as much as possible; tries not to cheat on the NY Times crossword puzzle; and roots for the Red Sox. She lives in Burlington's South End with her partner Rob, whom she idolizes for his year-round commitment to bike commuting (among other things). |

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. |

Don Miller is responsible for managing Local Motion's finances and financial systems and leading the budget process. Don brings with him many years of business management experience in both private and non-profit environments. He also is currently the treasurer of the Mt Mansfield Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Jericho. When he's not crunching numbers, this proud parent and grandfather can be found biking around New England, playing music in the MMUUF "Last Minute Choir and with his musical friends at local venues. In whatever spare time he has left, Don works as a carpenter in the Essex area and renovates his own 1910 farm house. |

Positive experiences have lasting impacts. Fostering a positive Burlington biking experience is Kevin's role as manager of Local Motion's Trailside Center. Through his interactions with thousands of riders each year on the city's waterfront bike path, Kevin enthusiastically shares his lifelong passion for cycling, and much, much more. A former city planner and founder of the Lake Champlain Paddlers' Trail, Kevin has been commuting on two wheels for over thirty years and has plans for setting out on his third trans-America ride in the not too distant future. |

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. He lives in Burlington's South End, and wishes his bike ride to work were a little longer -- a five minute commute is too short! |
