California Mobility Fund

The CMFs main efforts were in support of the charitable advocacy and education work of the California Bicycle Coalition (CBC), especially its advocacy to expedite bicycle safety improvements. We began planning for the next biennial California Bicycle Summit, which will gather around 300 bicycle organizers, transportation planners, and city officials for 2 days of workshops, breakout sessions, and presentations related to bicycling, active transportation, mobility, and public safety, in April 2024. We continued to monitor and worked to improve Caltrans complete streets policy that requires the consideration of bike and pedestrian safety facilities in every road repair project. e-Bike AdvocacyCalifornia Mobility Fund continued our campaign to support and steward the states E-Bike Purchase Incentive Program, managed by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The CMF has engaged in public education and outreach to ensure the program is broadly adopted, attending public work group meetings, consulting with CARB and program administrator Pedal Ahead, and garnering an email interest list of over 19,000 specific to the program. The ongoing advocacy of the California Bicycle Coalition has made clear the enormous demand for accessible sustainable transportation like e-bikes.Regional Organization SupportCMF serves as a fiscal sponsor for several young regional bicycle coalitions. The Motherlode Bicycle Coalition is a very small volunteer-led group that promotes safer bicycling in the Sierra Foothills adjacent to the northern San Joaquin Valley. They participate in regional committees such as the Caltrans District 10 Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee to advise on bicycle issues, coordinate and support recreational bicycles rides, and support growth of bicycle tourism in the region. Transport Oakland works to support the enactment of safe, sustainable and equitable transportation policies in Oakland.
