Recycle-a-Bike blurb:

Besides the most obvious qualities of the bicycle; that it is the most efficient and fun forms of transportation, that it is a source of immense freedom and leisure, that it is economical and has utilitarian beauty, the bicycle has an even more interesting and admirable role in history, economics, politics and society. The bicycle has served as a great emancipator, a social equalizer, and a people liberator all over the world. The depth of importance of the bicycle is DEEP!

Recycle-a-Bike will facilitating a conversation about exploding bike culture in the USA, how bikes can change the world, benefits of appropriate technology, bike advocacy, community engagement, communities that have successful integrated biking systems, and basic bicycle anatomy.

First One to Be Held in Lincoln on Monday, September 15

Rhode Island, like many states across the nation, is facing a transportation funding crisis. That is why this past March, Governor Carcieri established the Blue Ribbon Panel on Transportation Funding to explore the State’s current transportation funding structure.

Since its inception, the Panel has been reviewing the State’s transportation funding structure, funding needs, as well as future funding options. The Panel is now looking for public input and is therefore announcing four public meetings that will begin on Monday, September 15. The meetings, which will be held at 7 p.m., will provide the general public the opportunity to voice their opinions on the State’s current funding structure and offer suggestions for improvement.

The Blue Ribbon Panel Public Meeting schedule is as follows:

Schedule:
Monday, September 15, 7 p.m., Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) Flanagan Campus, 1762 Louisquisset Pike, Lincoln.
Wednesday, September 17, 7 p.m., CCRI Newport County, One John H. Chafee Boulevard, Newport.
Tuesday, September 23, 7 p.m., University of Rhode Island (URI), Kingston.
Thursday, September 25, 7 p.m., Rhode Island College (RIC), 600 Mount Pleasant Avenue, Providence.
