Budget
$50,000.00
Description
We work to build a county-wide culture of walking and biking with fun and educational opportunities such as Tour de Nash (Nashville's largest urban bike ride with routes for all levels and abilities) and Open Streets (to inspire the reimagining of public spaces by temporarily turning a street into a car-free public park to walk, bike, play, and socialize). We also provide bike valet service for some of the city's largest and most popular festivals and sporting events including all home Nashville Soccer Club matches.

Walk Bike Nashville works to promote policy and infrastructure that supports walking and bicycling. We want all Nashvillians to have the option of walking and biking, no matter where they live or where they want to go. To achieve this goal we work with city officials to expand safe bikeways, sidewalks, greenways, and access to transit; we develop specific asks for infrastructure campaigns; we provide resources to community groups; and we are a voice in the room during countless discussions about the future of our city's streets.
