One Less Car holds annual bike symposium

One Less Car plans to hold its annual Smart Transportation and Bicycling Symposium Wednesday, Feb. 3 in Annapolis.

The event attracts supports, legislators and others to hear about what's ahead for the year, including the advocacy group's legislative agenda and updates on trail and road projects.

The group describes the event this way:

"This Annual Symposium is an outstanding opportunity for people to meet and share information with advocates, planners, state and local officials, and community leaders who want more bike lanes, better sidewalks, more trails, a statewide Complete Streets policy and access to a variety of modes of efficient transportation for everyone.

"The Symposium is the perfect setting to inform our state Delegates and Senators that Maryland communities need smart commuting opportunities and safe bicycle and pedestrian access to be fully sustainable and livable."

The group usually gets a good turnout. Between 400 and 500 people attended last year, officials said. 

The event is free and there are presentation all day. To RSVP, email Carol Siffdorff at carol@onelesscar.org.

So, what's on your transportation/biking agenda this year that you'd like to be on their agenda?
