Why join Bike Walk Mississippi?

Your membership helps because:

BikeWalk Mississippi is committed to raising awareness of opportunities associated with non-motorized transportation (including bicycling, walking, hiking) for recreation, transportation, and health.

• We work with public and private organizations, state agencies, municipalities and civic groups to promote change in the way we think, travel, and plan our communities.
• We are advocates, supporting local and national initiatives to provide safe walking/riding routes for children such as Safe Routes to School and National Walk to School Day each October, and Healthy Pathways, a program to promote regular exercise for all Mississippians of all ages and abilities.
• We support coalitions to plan and build more bike-pedestrian friendly projects and amenities, such as trails, bikepaths and other accommodations.
• We are your voice in Mississippi to advance non-motorized transportation as part of an overall solution for the pressing issues of our time, including comprehensive planning, growth, community wellbeing, healthy lifestyles, transportation congestion, and climate change.
