Activate Omaha

Helping Omaha get out of there car's and on there bikes!! Check it out.



Activate Omaha
In an effort to improve the user friendliness of our streets, various groups and individuals have organized and are attempting to make the Omaha Metro Area more Bicycle Friendly. A workshop was held in October that helped the community identify ways in becoming more bicycle friendly by:

1) assessing the conditions of bicycling in the community

2) providing an introduction of the issues affecting bicycle safety and use

3) creating an informed action plan to improve conditions for

bicycling

4) encouraging physical activity through bicycling in the community.
