Norte! Lands $25k Grant For Safe Cycling
March 24, 2015
Norte!, a Traverse City group committed to inspiring youth through bicycles, has been selected by The Michigan Fitness Foundation and Michigan Department of Transportation to receive a $25,000 Safe Routes To School grant for the Traverse City Area Public Schools.
This grant will help fund The Great Traverse City Bike Train Experiment, expanding Norte!'s Bike Train network to connect more Traverse City neighborhoods to more neighborhood schools. These adult-led groups encourage elementary and middle school students to bike together while learning how to safely operate their bicycles on neighborhood streets and urban pathways. The group currently has six Bike Trains operating weekly every Friday.
The Great Traverse City Bike Train Experiment will officially launch this fall. More information on Norte! activities here.
