The Truckee Meadows Bicycle Alliance is partnering with local leaders to improve the safety of alternative transportation in Washoe County and solve traffic, parking and health challenges while contributing to the economy. To improve safety we need a concise and consistent message of what makes Washoe County residents feel safe using bikes, scooters, or other mobility devices. Your input will help TMBA bring a message to local leaders that includes a collective vision for Washoe County.
Reno Direct – Report an Issue.
Is there a problem with a ride route you use or have seen? Send it to Reno Direct. Whenever you see a problem, for instance, if a bike path ends or has holes or needs painting, you can send the issue to Reno Direct and they will respond. In our experience, they respond quickly.
The TMBA calendar aims to be a one-stop shop for all rides in Reno. If you have a ride you would like us to include, write to Events@BikeWashoe.org
We send newsletters full of information about bicycling, infrastructure, and related news from our area. When important things happen and action events arise, you will be the first to know. We won’t share your information ever.
Are you passionate about improving our micromodal network and reaching underserved communities? Positions open regularly throughout the year and the board reviews applications. If you are a stellar applicant who has put lots of thought into the application, expect a call from us. Often we pull candidates from people who have volunteered on a project prior to joining the board or demonstrated a commitment to bicycle infrastructure in Reno with real concrete results.
TMBA is an all-volunteer organization and relies heavily on donations of time and financial contributions. If you make it all the way through the list, make a donation, and include your email and physical address in the notes, we will send you a sticker. Thank you for your support!
