Statewide - Attend Lobby Day on February 11th

This is your opportunity to connect with your local senator and representative, discuss key bike-friendly policies, and help ensure bicycling remains a priority across the commonwealth. 

Advocating for bike-friendly policies at the state level makes it easier to enact local change on the municipal level. For more information, check out our Lobby Day event page.
