Pedaling the Pueblo – Updates on the Pima County Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program
Pima County’s website states that “[it] is dedicated to improving safety and access for walkers and cyclists.” The County hosts many programs that are aimed at getting more people walking and biking and doing so safely. Bike Buddy, Safe Routes to School, Adult Education and Diversion classes are just a few of the services provided by the County to support people walking and biking.

Recently, much of this program shifted from the Department of Transportation to the Health Department. Why? You’ll have to listen to the interview to find out the answer to that question, as well as what this new arrangement will bring to the County’s emphasis on safety.
