The Alliance for Responsible Transportation (A.R.T.) is a community-driven, 501(c)(3), non-profit organization that promotes bicycling, walking and transit as viable forms of transportation in Sarasota County. We accomplish this through our local advocacy and outreach efforts.
Community Feedback is Crucial
A.R.T. is working with County staff to update the Sarasota County Bike Plan and your feedback will greatly enhance this process. Are there specific changes in facilities, infrastructure, programming, education and safety that could be made? Where would you like to see more bike lanes and trails? Do you want to see more funding for bike safety education? How can Sarasota County become more bike-friendly? Please let us know your suggestions, concerns and ideas that you would like included in our recommendations to the County by sending them to art@bikewalklive.org.
PROJECT COMPLETED: Sarasota Bike Map & Local Business Guide
A.R.T. produced and printed 10,000 copies of the Sarasota Bike Map in May of 2009! The map indicates the bike lanes and trails throughout Sarasota, rates local roads for their bikeability, and features panels with bike safety information. Get your free copy of the Sarasota Bike Map & Local Business Guide at your local library or bike shop, as well as at participating businesses. You can also view a PDF version below.
The map also highlights over 35 local businesses where card-carrying A.R.T. members can receive a 10% discount for biking, walking or taking public transit. See our Allies page for a list of discounters and make sure to support the local business that care about increasing active transportation. Become a member and enjoy the savings!
