The PCH Task Force is in the process of creating several pieces of material that will be distributed during the entire month of May, 2007.
- A two-sided handout that will be on all MTA buses and trains. It will be called "Share the Road" and will include tips for motorists and cyclists about the laws and how to apply them in everyday situations on the road.
- A series of bus sides or backs that will use the same theme.
- An article in Westways Magazine from AAA. It will be along the same theme of vehicles and bikes getting along on the road and understanding each other's rights and responsibilities.
We are also working with DMV on changes to their driver education materials that more completely explain safety issues.
The Task Force will continue to develop educational projects that can be accomplished on a limited budget. If you have input or ideas to contribute, please email k@labikecoalition.org.
ABOUT THE PCH TASK FORCE
In response to the deaths of two cyclists last year on Pacific Coast Highway, advocates formed a task force to address cyclists' safety concerns on the well-traveled road. Eighteen new "Share the Road" signs have been put in place between Decker Canyon Road and Chautauqua Road, and plans are in place to increase public awareness and safety, including a new series of PSAs on safe cycling and road sharing, targeting both motorists and cyclists. The PCH Task Force includes LACBC, State Senator Sheila Kuehl, Velo Club LaGrange, Los Angeles Tri Club, City of Los Angeles Bicycle Program, Cal Trans District 7, Department of Motor Vehicles, the County of Los Angeles, Metro Bicycle Program, and the County Sheriff's Department.
