Do you like talking to people about current bicycling issues? We need active advocates to assist with the promotion of pro-bike legislation during the short and fast paced legislative session. You can assist by contacting legislators, obtaining support from business, government and community leaders, performing research and increasing grass roots support and promotion of state level pro-bike legislation. The volunteer role includes:
- Develop relationships with legislators

- Educate government leaders (i.e. MDOT)
- Hearing support, verbal and written testimony
