NCAT needs your support to grow youth and school bicycle safety programs in New Haven. Thank you for any level of donation, from $5 on up.

Getting Kids on Bikes

 

Getting youth and teens on bikes improves their physical and mental health, reduces absenteeism, and increases their independent mobility.

 

Post-pandemic, connecting youth to healthy bicycles and fun, social, active learning is extremely important.

End Preventable Roadway Deaths in Connecticut

 

Connecticut bill HB 5917 came out of the CT Vision Zero Council recommendations to reduce severe and fatal crashes for all road users. It has been passed by both the Transportation the Appropriations Committees.

 

What's next? - Legislators could call the bill to a vote, or it may go to the Judiciary Committee. Your voice matters!

This course was rescheduled. Note the new dates!

 

You could be a certified League Cycling Instructor (LCI). There is a weekend seminar, June 16th-18th in New Haven. Space is limited and you'll need to complete prerequisite courses ahead of the seminar. Register here for the LCI Seminar.

 

LCI's are certified by the League of American Bicyclists. They have access to insurance and are trained in curriculum for youth and adult bicycle safety courses and group rides.

 

This is a useful certification for youth program staff, physical education teachers, camp counselors, and city park program staff.
