Bikes, Babies & Boomers: Redesigning mobility in the suburbs to serve all ages and abilities
The suburbs are changing and people need more options than getting in a car for their diverse trip needs. This panel will outline how bike infrastructure can be a powerful tool for safety and mobility, even for people who never considered themselves cyclists.

How the e-bike boom can fuel a mobility transformation
E-bikes are rapidly changing how people get around, offering the speed, flexibility, and door-to-door convenience that once made the car the default. Explore how to harness growing demand while supporting new riders, keeping youth and families safe, and integrating e-bikes into transit, shared mobility, and school transportation.
