For Advocates
Like other transportation advocates, SABA’s efforts to expand bicycling often work behind the scenes, helping to influence planning documents, offer guidelines on facilities, and work with other organizations to share and collect vital information about practices and knowledge we can use to make cycling in Sacramento the smart and safe choice it ought to be.
Most of these documents or pages are found on other sites and have been marked appropriately. Wherever possible, downloadable documents have also been listed.
