There are many ways to carry things on your bicycle. I mostly use rear panniers. If you don’t have a rear bike rack, you will need to get one in order to use panniers.

The Safe Routes to School Program has transitioned to being coordinated by the Vermont Agency of Transportation’s Active Transportation team.

2024 was Local Motion's 25th Anniversary and another fantastic year. Check out our Impact Report for a by-the-numbers summary of all of our services and programs.

Bringing Safe Routes to School Innovations to Vermont

This past October, I attended the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) National Conference in Fort Collins, Colorado. The experience was both energizing and inspiring—not just from the innovative practices I saw but also from recognizing how Vermont is unique but still shares so many common challenges and successes with other states.

When I teach commuter bike workshops I say, “The most important thing about riding is that you look good on your bike!” I’m joking, but there is a kernel of truth in the statement.

Walking through a city during the winter comes with its own set of challenges. Burlington is no different. Icy, snowy, and slushy sidewalks along with the cold weather make getting around more complicated than during other seasons. What might be a simple stroll in milder weather can quickly become a slow, cautious walk in winter conditions. Adding the complication of dealing with Burlington’s many inclines only makes this a greater struggle for pedestrians.

Local Motion, Vermont’s statewide bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization, has two new board members: Alice Charkes and Mark Anders.

Stoke the fire and stay inspired to ride this winter! Join this month's EZ Breezy bike ride as we take on the streets of Burlington, exploring our favorite ways to connect the city. This is a no-drop ride, which means that we stick together as a group. Bring your lights, bring a friend, and bring your bike! We'll bring the tunes and volunteers to help us roll safely. We meet at Local Motion HQ, 6 PM on the last Tuesday of every month, all year round.
