Fort Collins to Launch Share the Road Campaign

Fort Collins will launch a share the road campaign urging all road users to be tolerant of one another and to share the road appropriately.  Watch for these banners to launch this campaign.  

Fort Collins participated in a pilot project over the winter to explore community solutions to making roads safer for all users.  Participants in the ad hoc committee that met included bicycle advocates, injury prevention practitioners, pedestrians, and drivers education instructors, among others.  The share the road banner above will be displayed in the community to publicize the campaign.  Fort Collins and Colorado Springs were selected for this project because of the high rates of bicycle crashes in the two communities.
