What is IPBA?
The Idaho Pedestrian and Bicycle Alliance, a statewide organization that gaining momentum to support bicyclists and pedestrians in Idaho. Friends of walking and biking are invited to join.
In January 2010, IPBA applied for a $20,000 matching grant from the Alliance for Biking and Walking (http://www.peoplepoweredmovement.org/), a national organization that supports state and local advocacy efforts to increase walking and biking. IPBA has been awarded the grant!
IPBA plans to use the grant funding to help hire its first executive director,
improve IPBA’s web site and media presence, and hold a workshop inSeptember for walking and bicycling advocates from throughout Idaho. The grant will help us build IPBA into a strong voice for walking and bicycling in Idaho. IPBA will work at changing statewide funding, policy and laws to protect your chosen form of transportation and/or recreation. By having a strong statewide bicycle and pedestrian organization, we hope to empower local advocates to
make progress in our area.
