Project award http://www.washingtoncountybikes.org/washco-btc-secures-vamonos-project-grant/ http://www.washingtoncountybikes.org/washco-btc-secures-vamonos-project-grant/#comments Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:31:03 +0000 WashCo BTC http://www.washingtoncountybikes.org/?p=599 Thanks to a generous award from Metro the BTC will help the cities of Forest Grove, Cornelius and Hillsboro to create culturally appropriate
maps to help families learn where to walk, bike and ride transit.
“The $2,000 will most certainly help us in our Latino outreach.” said Hal Ballard, Executive Director. “This significant population group is among the most underserved in the county and we hope to address that, at least for the youngest among us, using a bicycle as a tool to bridge that gap.”
