    NC WEEK 4B (Charlotte-Concord Week) – Anson, Cabarrus, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Stanly, & Union Counties – October 03 – 09, 2021 CACRAO CODE OF ETHICS The purpose of an Educational Opportunity Program is to provide a chance for high school students, particularly juniors and seniors, to be exposed to many different educational opportunities and to explore specific interests. The following Code of Ethics is designed to allow for equal opportunity for students to access information and for institutions to present it. 1. It is the responsibility of each college or university to inform any person who represents that institution of the CACRAO Code of Ethics which will be in effect at all CACRAO-sponsored Programs. Each institutional representative must respect the rights of other institutions. • One official representative is considered adequate at most Educational Opportunity Programs. If more than one representative is needed, those present must confine all activities to the assigned space. • Representatives should arrive in enough time to the fair in order to staff their booth during advertised fair hours and remain for the entire program. A program concludes when the posted end time occurs or if the fair coordinator calls the end to a fair early. CACRAO and/or the college fair host may follow up with the leadership of an institution should a representative be absent without notification. Representatives must notify the host contact or Scheduling Committee member who organized the week should they be unable to attend. • Dress to best represent your institution. • Representatives should limit use of mobile devices to fair-related purposes. Earbuds should be stored for the duration of the Ed‐Op Program.

    TownTown ofof MooresvilleMooresville ComprehensiveComprehensive BicycleBicycle PlanPlan EXECUTIVEEXECUTIVE SUMMARYSUMMARY Mooresville’s Current Cycling Environment • 0.32% of Mooresville’s citizens commute to work by bicycle, ranking 23rd out of 65 in the state of North Carolina for municipalities with more than 10,000 residents. • Mooresville and the Lake Norman region is currently a recreational destination for many cyclists. • Mooresville has no official off-road bicycle facilities but the Greenway Plan and the Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan both identify potential multi-use path corridors. • Mooresville’s downtown core and surrounding areas are reasonably connected and have roadways that are fairly bicycle friendly. Bicycle Plan Goals • Connect important destinations with neighborhood and regional bike routes, bike lanes and other on-road facilities, and various multiple-use paths off of the roadway so that biking becomes a more viable transportation option. • Support and guide non-motorized conducive land-use decisions and policies such as mixed-use zoning, connectivity, and infill that encourages convenient bicycling for all skill levels. • Improve safety and accessibility for bicyclists with a special concern for all different types of riders especially children, low income residents, and the elderly. • Improve environmental conditions and health by reducing air, water and noise pollution resulting from unnecessary vehicular traffic and by increasing physical activity. • Encourage the addition of amenities in Mooresville that make biking pleasurable and practical such as landscaping, traffic calming, public restrooms and showers, lockers, bicycle racks, and recreational opportunities. • Create an atmosphere in Mooresville where motorists are familiar with bicyclists, bicyclists are comfortable with motorists, and where many obstacles that bicyclists currently face are corrected.
