Faurecia is deploying its Bike to School initiative – a proposal developed by employees of the French supplier in Morocco.
The project is being rolled out in the Azilal province, where middle-high schools and high-schools are all located in the main city.
For the children living in the villages, it becomes an issue to get to school, as no bus service is available. They have to walk an average distance of 5km-6km very often in extreme weather conditions (temperatures spanning from -8°C in the winter at night, to 48°C in the summer during daytime).
Through Bike to School, Faurecia volunteers want to tackle this mobility challenge and unequal access to education.
Wicked Local
Last fall, a group of Concord parents created a bike-to-school initiative to encourage kids to walk or ride their bikes, consistent with the School Department’s efforts to minimize the number of students riding buses due to the pandemic.
The adults tracked the number of bikes parked at the schools for several months to help the School Department know about the trend. The initiative was deemed successful, according to Phil Posner, a member of the town’s Transportation Advisory Committee who spoke to the Concord Journal as a private resident. So, the group of adults is bringing the initiative back for the spring.
SB 1582: Safe Pathways Act
Dear Mr. President, my dear colleagues:
On this bill, I have no recourse but to follow the leader of the pack, the captain of the Senate cycling team. I vote yes.
A national safe and sustainable bicycle infrastructure is like a bike wheel. It consists of spokes. And this bill is but one of many.
And if a bicycle journey begins with a single pedal push, this one is it.
Or I could be wrong, because we have done that a long time ago, when we collectively pushed for funds for bicycle lanes in past national budgets, and when we allocated billions for bike lanes, racks, and even bicycles in the Bayanihan law.
