advocacy organizations
The active transportation education and advocacy work led by Encinitas Bike Walk at the local level is made possible by the dedicated efforts of San Diego, California, and national advocacy organizations. These groups establish the foundation for progress by shaping policies, securing funding, and advancing infrastructure improvements that promote safer streets and more sustainable communities.
Their research, legislative initiatives, and coalition-building efforts create opportunities for local organizations like ours to enact change on the ground. By promoting active transportation on larger scales, they empower and inspire us to advocate for a more walkable and bike-friendly Encinitas.
