A Regional Bike and Pedestrian Newsflash<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

The following monthly newsflash from the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board details current news and events in regards to biking and walking both in and around the Baltimore region. <\/p>\n

The information found in the newsflash is informative; it could inspire some to become more involved in the process of improving conditions for biking and walking.
\n <\/span><\/div>\n

There is much to enjoy for everyone in this newsletter.  There is always plenty of information and resources available but the BMC tries to make all that information just as enjoyable as riding a bike or taking a walk.<\/div>\n
You may peruse the newsletter highlights below but be careful not to miss anything.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Thank you, and Enjoy!<\/div>\n
