Funding Sources : The Bicycle Industry-Bikes Belong Campaign

The Bikes Belong Coalition is sponsored by member companies of the American bicycle industry. The Coalition's stated goal is to put more people on bikes more often through the implementation of TEA-21. One of the Coalition's primary activities is the funding of local bicycle advocacy organizations that are trying to ensure that TEA-21-funded bicycle or trail facilities get built. Grants are awarded for up to $10,000 on a rolling basis. By June 2000, almost $200,000 has been awarded to advocacy organizations in the District of Columbia, Marin County, CA, Milwaukee, WI, Dallas, TX, Los Angeles, New York City, Portland, Maine, and others. Information about the Coalition, including grant applications and related information, is on the web at: www.bikesbelong.org
