Mobility Week 2021 Save the Date Announcement

Statewide Mobility Week (Oct. 29 through Nov. 5, 2021)

SAVE THE DATE

Mobility Week is a coordinated and concentrated celebration of activities to promote safe, multimodal transportation choices. During Mobility Week, partner agencies across the state host events and offer special promotions to encourage Floridians to try new transportation options.

Since the inception of Mobility Week in 2016, our community partners have embraced the idea of collaboratively promoting safety and sustainable transportation choices, as embodied in the Florida Transportation Plan, metropolitan long-range plans, and comprehensive plans. More than 400 events have been held across the state, including free transit rides, travel trainings, group bicycle rides, bicycle helmet fittings, commuter travel events, walking tours, workshops, and other community events.

Last year, Floridians took to biking and walking like never before. With so many people using active transportation modes, our partners collaborated to provide safety information through the Mobility Week Virtual Conference Center and promoted the first statewide “Love to Ride” bicycling challenge. The conference center featured a series of virtual rooms highlighting programs around the state and saw over 11,000 visits. More than 2,000 Floridians registered for the bicycling challenge – 40 percent of whom were new or occasional riders that report riding regularly after the challenge. Participants also had an opportunity to access safety information and share their experiences with the community.
