How We Impact the Community

NCBC is the only nonprofit wholly dedicated to improving active transportation countywide. We are committed to making biking safe and accessible for all, so that everyone can experience the joy and benefits of riding a bike.

We EDUCATE. Our programs include leading the countywide Safe Routes to School, which provides free in-school bicycle safety education to 1,700 elementary school students per school year and distributes over 600 helmets to those in need. We organize free community rides and rodeos teach bike safety and handling skills to over 400 youth and adults.

We ADVOCATE. NCBC members show up to community meetings, work with city staff and councils, and track plans and projects; our involvement has secured infrastructure improvements like buffered and protected bike lanes, increased street sweeping of bike facilities, and bike-friendlier transportation and general plans.

We ENCOURAGE. Bike to work and school days engage 3,000 local youth and adults in healthy, active transportation; Napa Bikefest builds community and offers access to bicycle resources; free bike valet parks over 1,000 bikes a year, making local events more bike-friendly and sustainable.

Testimonial

NCBC is an invaluable partner in promoting safe and accessible biking for our community. Their dedication to improving infrastructure and educating residents has made a tangible difference, especially for students getting to school safely. We appreciate their ongoing efforts to make Napa County a better place to bike for everyone.
