Bicycle Friendly America Fall 2016 - 32
BICYCLE FRIENDLY BUSINESS
INSPIRATIONS
FROM THE
NATIONAL
BIKE SUMMIT
Maria Sipin, Advisory Board Co-chair, Multicultural Communities for Mobility, Los Angeles, CA
The National Bike Summit & Women's Forum over the past
three years has been a place to expand my networks and gain a
better understanding of issues concerning local leaders in their
respective communities. This knowledge has strengthened my
ability as an advisory board member to advocate for my organization's needs and position with respect to issues such as
Vision Zero, bikeshare, and ongoing leadership development
for advocates at all levels. I am able to better prioritize how to
address these matters with my team as key stakeholders in Los
Angeles continue to seek ways to facilitate and transform local
power structures and increase community participation to affect change in our neighborhoods.
T
he League offered scholarships to
the 2016 National Bike Summit
& Women's Forum to leaders in
the active transportation movement
from around the country. Here, five of
those leaders share what they learned
at the Summit and how they are applying that knowledge and experience in
their communities.
Multicultural Communities for Mobility has been able to
work more effectively within our community as we have become
more informed, engaged and involved in shaping discussions
and actions related to transforming local power structures, developing priorities for Vision Zero with the Los Angeles Vision
Zero Alliance, and making recommendations to improve bike
share through the Better Bike Share Partnership with Metro,
the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition (LACBC), and
LADOT. Attending the Summit & Women's Forum reminds
my team at Multicultural Communities for Mobility that we
must continue to participate in challenging spaces and reminds
us that our identities as people of color and young professionals, our dedication and our contributions have value.
Shavel'le Olivier, Co-Chair, Mattapan Food and Fitness
Coalition, Mattapan, MA
The most valuable takeaway from the Summit and Women's
Forum was the session on Defining Bike Advocacy through
Women's Leadership and Equity Priorities. Tamika Butler
shared her experiences about her journey into becoming the
Executive Director at the LACBC. What was eye-opening was
that she came into her position with a different perspective.
