We meet regularly with public officials and agency representatives in 36 jurisdictions within San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to promote convenient and safe bicycle infrastructure. We continue to work to get bike lanes and other safety measures for bicyclists installed. We convene volunteer teams in several geographic areas to advise on local needs of bicycle infrastructure and policy change. In 2019-20, our local teams of advocates in San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and Redwood City continued to meet regularly to discuss issues of local importance. Some issues, such as e-scooter regulations, bike access on Caltrain, and equity in the bicycling movement, made their way to our Policy Advisory Committee to be discussed and recommended for further action by SVBC staff. We hosted our seventh annual Silicon Valley Bike Summit, which brings together professionals, advocates, politicians, and public agency employees in a community event focused on planning for health, environmental security, and enhanced communities. The Summit featured speakers from state and international bicycling organizations as well as local agency staff and bike bloggers. We worked with the San Mateo County Transportation Agency to increase transportation funding through 2049 Measure W and ensured that additional funding would be appropriated to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The SVBC works strategically in broad advocacy initiatives that will help achieve the set goal to see a 10% increase of trips by bike by 2025, furthering the mission to create a healthy community, environment, and economy through bicycling in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. 259392 79419 Bike Clinic: The San Jose Bike Clinic is a volunteer-run fiscally sponsored program with goal of teaching bike repair and maintenance skills to interested community members and to encourage bicycle culture in the local area. The Bike Clinic was able to rent a space in downtown San Jose where they hold clinics four evenings a week. We worked with the City of San Jose to help plan and market Viva Calle San Jose, an open-streets program consisting of events that temporarily close long segments of city streets to vehicle traffic, making them fully accessible to people moving by foot, bike, scooter, skateboard, or any other means of non-motorized travel. We do valet bike parking at numerous venues throughout the year, a service that promotes ridership by making sure people's bikes are safe when they ride to events. We worked with the bike coalitions in San Francisco and East Bay on a program to make sure that the new bike share program is accessible to low-income communities. Bicycle Education: Safety education is one of our most important services. We conduct bike safety classes for both children and adults. During the 2017-18 school year our classroom on-bike safety program reached over 6,000 children in the San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Additionally, we are working with low-income communities to provide bicycle education.Equity & Inclusion: Our mission and vision cannot be achieved without making our cultural humility and social justice central to our work. 206338 64170 Bike to Work Day: Each May, SVBC hosts Bike to Work Day, which is a Bay Area wide celebration of bicycle commuting with the purpose of publicizing bicycling to work as a commute option and to encourage people to try it out. Energizer stations are set up by employers and volunteers throughout Silicon Valley to provide participating cyclists with goodie bags and refreshments during their ride to work. We also promote the Team Bike Challenge and the Company Bike Challenge, competitions that encourage participants to bike to work during the month. In addition to coordinating all event logistics, SVBC leverages the energy of the event through press conferences and other media to focus public attention on the benefits of bicycling. 47913 122450 800483 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 11 0 true 23 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false true true true true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X Deanna Chevas 4082877259 96 N Third St Ste 375 San Jose CA 95112 Shiloh Ballard President & ED 50.00 0.00 X 128625 0 5743 Amie Ashton Board Chair 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 James Parker Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cheryl Smith Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Christina Salvatier Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Alyssa Plicka Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gary Brustin Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melissa Cerezo Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jorg Heinemann Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Hsu Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie DeLeuw Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Lucas Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Josh Mello Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margarita Parra Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Sinizer Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Poncho Guevara Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 128625 5743 1 false false false 0 270 158585 212500 599020 36980 970375 Fees for Service 900099 338939 338939 338939 3207 3207 0 0 0 0 16215 158585 50021 -33806 -33806 0 0 Miscellaneous 900099 6459 6459 6459 1285174 338939 -24140 0 0 0 0 147916 14222 74010 59684 0 651893 454994 184481 12418 5179 3555 1597 27 26127 13695 11502 930 53100 37108 15436 556 0 1958 1958 28856 28856 0 0 0 119951 106890 3673 9388 2573 1145 119 1309 53700 9154 25141 19405 4858 3658 1200 0 72868 7141 65727 5060 1871 931 2258 0 6160 829 4826 505 0 63837 63837 0 4577 1624 2953 Event 74207 74087 120 Community Relations-Giveaways 6673 6673 0 1329493 800483 422410 106600 392423 777808 238777 260861 0 327880 166590 0 0 0 0 10649 48597 0 0 0 0 0 0 969729 1253856 112667 65657 391700 146520 112667 603877 X 731788 543776 125274 106203 857062 649979 969729 1253856 X -44319 -162764 X false false false X 804508 897931 765559 870648 970375 4309021 0 0 804508 897931 765559 870648 970375 4309021 138699 4170322 9 367 1425 2110 3207 7118 0 509 595 2052 2025 6459 11640 4327779 2258709 0.96360 0.94730 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 109 384 493 1329000 1329493 207949 51987 false 186767 202046 198387 207949 795149 1192724 1918 3915 2892 493 9218 46692 50512 49597 51987 198788 298182 1118 747 1319 109 3293 Part II-B, Line 1i - Other Activities Description One staff member travelled to Wash DC to meet with members of Congress.
