Salt Lake City’s Pedal Pass Program Question: what would encourage you to ride a bike to a location instead of drive a car? Well bike lanes would make roads safer, and bike racks help, but what about a discount on food or a movie? After all, not contributing to congestion and air/noise pollution in our community and limiting our country’s oil consumption deserves some rewards right? The Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Committee is launching a new program this spring called the bicycle commuter “Pedal Pass”. The pass will be a wallet-sized card that will be available to anyone will- ing to read the Utah Bicycle Laws and Safety Guidelines manual. Certain businesses will be offering discounts to folks who ride a bicycle to their establishment and carry a pedal pass. All participat- ing businesses will be printed with the pedal pass literature and other community newsletters and magazines. We are still in the process of talking to businesses and will be printing by mid-March. Please help spread the word so we can make this program successful! Any questions about the pedal pass program can be directed to Lisa at the Mayor’s Office at 535-7939. -Jason Bultman

MBAC wants Input on New Road Construction The Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), the municipal planning organization for our area needs your input. The WFRC recently completed a thirty-year plan for road and transit projects. Unless we (the cycling community) hold their feet to the fire they will build projects that further compromise cyclists’ safety. To offer WFRC some guidance: log onto their site (www.wfrc.org); review their plans for road and transit projects in the areas where you cur- rently cycle, particularly the projects that will be completed in the next ten years; post your comments to the advocacy - road forum at www.cyclingutah.com/core/forums/ and the MBAC will compile your suggestions for WFRC’s bicycle planner, Jory Johner (jjohner @wfrc.org: 363-4230 ext. 110). -Mark Smedley
