FY2022 Annual Report

Advocating for Safety and Infrastructure

In March, 22 advocates from Illinois met with Senator Durbin’s office and the offices of 11 House representatives on the National Bike Summit’s Lobby Day. The Illinois contingent expressed support for two programs that were included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). In addition, Illinois attendees participated in a variety of breakout sessions and eye-opening mobile tours offered at the Summit.

This past fall, Ride Illinois convened with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy staff, local organizations and advocates, and former Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, to develop a strategy to fund and build the Kaskaskia Trail – a rail-with-trail connection between the I&M Canal and Hennepin Canal Trails. These trails are included in the Great American Rail Trail that extends from Maryland to Washington state. This is an ongoing effort and we’ll be sure to provide relevant updates. Ride Illinois, and two dozen other organizations, sent letters to IDOT Secretary of Transportation Omer Osman and Governor J.B. Pritzker to demand funds the state will receive from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law be used in a meaningful way to 1) prioritize sustainable transportation and 2) improve safety and accessibility for all – especially vulnerable road users (VRUs). Ride Illinois was proud to initiate this effort and will continue to work with elected officials, IDOT, and municipalities to reduce traffic violence in Illinois.

2022 Highlights

Ride Illinois, the Active Transportation Alliance, and Metropolitan Planning Council jointly created an Illinois Secretary of State Candidate Survey. Alexi Giannoulias, who was elected to replace retiring Secretary of State Jesse White, stated “The Secretary of State as the issuer of driver’s licenses has a responsibility to ensure that Illinoisans who are deemed eligible by the state to receive their license are able to drive safely in a multi-modal environment and are aware of road sharing with bicycles and buses. Further, ensuring bicyclist and pedestrian safety is key to expanding bicycle access statewide and would be included on every driver’s test under my administration.” We’ll be contacting our new Secretary of State in early 2023 to make sure he follows through.

Education Matters

Our Ride Illinois Safely program makes bike education courses and resources accessible to adults and children across Illinois. Through this program, Ride Illinois offered ten, free online Bicycle Friendly Driver courses focused on the Illinois Rules of the Road, sharing the road, bike infrastructure, causes of common crashes, taking the lane, and more. Read about the Ride Illinois Safely program and submit a course request at rideillinois.org/safety/education.

Participation in Ride Illinois’ BikeSafetyQuiz Mini-Grant program grew by 15% to a record 51,848 students last school year. Also, for the third year, we ran a public safety campaign on social media in the spring viewed by over 2.2 million people. The campaign aims to educate motorists and bicyclists on the causes of common crashes and how to avoid them. View the images and videos at rideillinois.org/advocacy/public-safety-campaigns.

Ride Illinois has developed a wide range of materials focused on educating the public and sharing the many benefits of riding a bike. Visit rideillinois.org/safety/request-materials to request or download materials.

Fun, Meaningful Events

Experiencing different communities on a bike is a fun way see new places and meet great people! Also, Ride Illinois organized events to promote the use of bikes for transportation and to empower individuals to bring positive change to their community.

• More than 200 people enjoyed our 2022 Grand Illinois Bike Tour which toured central Illinois. Our 2023 fundraiser will take place June 11-16.

• The 2022 Let’s Ride, Illinois event took place in September with 19 casual, family-friendly rides in communities located around the state.

• Illinoisans logged 14,273 transportation miles during the Drive Less, Bike More Challenge which ran from July through September. We smashed our goal of 10,000 miles for the Challenge, which was supported by the League of American Bicyclists.

• The 2022 Illinois Bike Summit in Champaign in October was a success. The theme of the event was ‘Pedaling Forward Together’. Professionals and advocates attended to learn, network, and collaborate. Sessions focused on safety and accessibility and shared ways to improve biking for recreation and transportation in Illinois.

Ride Illinois in the Community

Since the program launched in 2020, more than 50 individuals have joined our Regional Action Teams (RATs). RAT volunteers have been present at many events and have offered additional assistance on important tasks. The time and energy that volunteers offer help to expand Ride Illinois’ reach and impact throughout the state.

The wonderful people we’ve met at community events is a highlight of our outreach.

• In January, we assisted with planning the Annual Dr. King Freedom Ride –a community ride which celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

• In March, we partnered with Pastor Singh and the Multi-Ethnic Church of Mt. Greenwood for a Bike Pilgrimage & Prayer for Peace in Ukraine.

• Ride Illinois helped out at the Lucas Legacy Bike Ride & Wellness Pop Up in July, which included a tour of the Riverdale and Altgeld Garden communities by bike.

• In August, we helped organize the Ride with D45 community event which attracted over 150 children and parents from the school district.

• Boxing Out Negativity’s Street Love Ride on Chicago’s West side is one of those “can’t miss”events. We were pleased to plan and volunteer at the community event in September.

We aim to expand our community outreach in 2023, so be sure to share details of your community events with us.
