Share the Road Brochure:

Bike Safety:  Planning and surveys have revealed a significant lack of understanding throughout the region that bicycles are to follow the vehicle code and do, in fact, belong on the road. As a result, CRCOG developed a comprehensive Share the Road brochure, targeted to both motorists and cyclists.

The brochure is available below, or multiple copies can be requested from Sandy Fry by email or by calling her at 860-522-2217, x20. The brochure has been printed in both English and Spanish.  It is available in all Department of Motor Vehicle offices in the state and we welcome additional outlets for distribution. 

• Share the Road:  Information for Motorists and Cyclists
• Comparta la Carretera: Información para Choferes y Ciclistas
