The 3rd annual CATMA Transportation Summit is scheduled for Thursday, October 15, 2024 at the beautiful UVM Davis Center in Burlington, Vermont.

Vermont is changing, and we need to modify our transportation network to the way people move around and connect to other cities, towns and through our State now. This year we gather to understand and address the transportation challenges in today’s changing and changed environment.

As part of Local Motion's 25th anniversary celebration, come along on one of Local Motion's first collaborative bike routes in Burlington - "Cycle the City". Originally premiered in 1999, this clockwise loop showcases the history, culture, and natural splendor of Burlington, VT—one of the loveliest cities in America, and the jewel of northern New England.

Join Local Motion board members and staff on this casually-paced, Friday afternoon ride. This experience offers a relatively easy and enjoyable tour of the Queen City, one you won't soon forget!

Friday, October 25th, 3-5pm. Start/end at Local Motion headquarters at 1 Steele Street, Burlington, VT. FREE. Please RSVP below.

We are so excited to co-host the 15th Annual Halloween Roll and Stroll (formerly the Halloween Bike Ride) on Sunday, October 27, 1:30 pm. Meet at City Hall Park in your costumed finest and roll / stroll / ride your way through the streets of BTV and on to the after party at Roosevelt Park: enjoy music, costume portraits, and pizza! Come take part in this FREE & FUN costume parade and party for all ages!

Stay tuned for details on routes, prizes from local businesses, costume categories and more!

Celebrate the joy of biking year-round with our EZ Breezy Rides! We meet on the last Tuesday of every month at 6pm, starting from Local Motion's Trailside Center. The sun will set during (or before!) the ride starts, so be prepared with lights and reflective wear.

This month, riding bikes is about to get scary... scary fun, that is. Wear your most haunting costume as we take on the streets of Burlington. (Route TBD)

Want to help the EZ Breezy run smoothly? We need a few volunteers at every ride to help navigate traffic and keep riders safe. Sign up here!

On November 14th, Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day honors the living legacy of civil rights activist Ruby Bridges. In 1960, six-year-old Ruby Bridges etched her name in history when she integrated all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. Since then, Ruby has become a national icon for her courageous action. Every November 14th, we celebrate Ruby’s courageous and historic act by encouraging students to walk to school and engaging in a day of dialogue about activism, anti-racism, and anti-bullying. The goal is to inspire kids to make positive changes in their school and community. Safe Routes Partnership is offering mini grants to support your Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day activities this fall!

Winter Walk to School Month is a great way to get students outside and active in February. Join us in celebrating all month long, with Winter Walk to School Day on February 5, 2025!
