Redmond PBAC Community Story
Bringing a Youth Safety Voice to the Local Conversation
Know Your Ride attended the City of Redmond Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Committee meeting as part of its growing effort to engage with local safety conversations. The meeting created an opportunity to introduce Know Your Ride, share a youth perspective, and connect rider education with broader community planning.
How Know Your Ride engaged
- Briefly introduced Know Your Ride to committee members
- Shared a youth perspective on bike and e-bike safety
- Connected rider education with local transportation conversations
- Built relationships with community and city stakeholders
For Know Your Ride, safer riding is not only about what happens on the road - it is also about being part of the conversations that shape safer communities. Attending Redmond’s PBAC meeting offered a chance to listen, learn, and better understand how local leaders and residents think about walking, biking, infrastructure, and public safety.
It also provided a meaningful moment to represent a youth-led perspective. As more students begin riding bikes and e-bikes independently, it becomes increasingly important that community planning and safety education stay connected. Know Your Ride is committed to helping bridge that conversation through clear, practical guidance for riders and families.
Safer communities are built not only through rules and infrastructure, but also through conversation, education, and youth participation.
