I am Program Director for Green Options Buffalo, a bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organization in Buffalo, NY. Green Options Buffalo works towards creating healthy, environmentally sustainable, community friendly transportation options in Buffalo, NY. The more often people choose to walk or ride a bicycle for transportation, the healthier the environment, the community and the people are.
Buffalo, NY is a beautiful little city with unlimited potential. Unfortunately, it is stuck operating under outdated and unsustainable policies. Green Options Buffalo is working to bring this great city closer to the kind of place that the wonderful people of Buffalo deserve.
Green Options Buffalo is working to make Buffalo a national center for environmentally sustainable transportation and bicycling. Specifically, Green Options Buffalo has taken on the task to achieve the Platinum level Bicycle-Friendly City certification from the League of American Cyclists.
Green Options Buffalo has worked to get Complete Streets legislation passed on the city and county levels locally. Complete Streets ensures that when roadways are being worked on within a municipality, that the construction supports ALL users, including bicyclists and pedestrians. Green Options Buffalo runs a popular bicycle sharing program called Buffalo Blue Bicycle and an award-winning after school program called Recycle-A-Bicycle where youth build their own bicycles from used parts. Green Options Buffalo has had over 275 bicycle racks installed along commercial strips in Buffalo over the last 2 years.
