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.

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).

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!
