The Vermont Walk/Bike Summit, held every other year in a different region of the state, is an opportunity to connect with Vermont's active transportation community. We welcome anyone interested in promoting bikeable and walkable communities including bicycle and pedestrian advocates, planners, professionals, consultants, and enthusiasts. Registration will open in March.

The 2026 organizing committee invites you to share your expertise and creative endeavors at the 2026 Summit. The summit will be in person, and there will be a mix of inside and outside meeting space available. We encourage you to think outside-the-box -- mobile sessions and innovative session formats, such as facilitated roundtables, live polling, or discussion groups, are encouraged.

Visit vtwalkbikesummit.com/summit-program for complete instructions and to complete our online proposal form by February 6th for consideration. If you have questions, please contact Callie Fishburn at [email protected]. 

Do you know of a person, community, or project related to walking and/or biking that deserves to be celebrated? Use this form to submit a nomination and explain why you believe special statewide recognition is appropriate. Consider people serving on local boards/committees, leading specific projects, engaged with schools, demonstrating innovation, and yes – you can even nominate yourself or your own project! Awards will be made in three categories:

1. Volunteer Advocate

2. Walk/Bike Professional

3. Notable project

If you have any questions, please contact Bryan Davis at [email protected].
