Access4Bikes Votes is an Internal Revenue Code 527 non-profit organization, which allows us to endorse and support candidates for elected office. Since many trail restrictions are created and maintained by elected officials, we believe this is a critical component of our efforts.
Access4Bikes Votes, a Political 527 Organization, is pleased to make our first city/town council endorsement. We proudly endorse Chance Cutrano for Fairfax Town Council. Chance has been an exceptional advocate for bike commuting and for general bike access all across Marin. As a member of the Transportation Authority of Marin and the Ross Valley Safe Routes to School Task Force, Cutrano has consistently demonstrated strong advocacy for cycling in Marin County. As a leader with the Sierra Club, Chance has bridged divides and enhanced dialogue between various user groups, leading to the Club's support for bike access on Sorich Park trail and Marin Water's Watershed Recreation pilot program. Cutrano has pledged to support our work at Tamarancho and include us in discussions about the Wall Property's recreational use. His balanced approach, understanding both environmental conservation and recreational needs, makes him an ideal candidate for the Town Council. We believe Chance Cutrano will champion sustainable transportation and recreation while addressing broader community needs, and we urge our members and supporters to vote for him in the upcoming election.
Access4Bikes Votes is pleased to announce our endorsements in the Division II race for the Marin Municipal Water District Board of Directors. After the candidate forum held last week, we have concluded that both Diana Maier and Robert Sandoval would be excellent representatives for the district. To learn more about both candidates, check out their answers to Access4Bikes Votes questionnaires here: Diana Maier and Robert Sandoval. Both will be at Biketoberfest in October and you can talk to them about their priorities at that event. We are confident that they will support the pilot trail sharing, and e-bike projects. Both are also committed to working with us to achieve equity in use on the mountain.
Access4Bikes Votes, a political 527 organization is pleased to make our endorsement for Brian Colbert for District 2 of the Marin County Board of Supervisors. District 2 encompasses the greater Ross Valley including Fairfax, San Anselmo, Ross, and Larkspur. Brian currently serves on the San Anselmo Town Council, and on the Transportation Agency of Marin (TAM) Board and has been a steadfast promoter of alternative transportation including bicycles and bike lanes. He has offered solutions for cleaning up traffic and congestion at the Hub, and has been a proponent of bicycle access on MMWD watershed lands. Most recently, Brian was part of an historic vote by the Town Council to open up Sorich Park to bicycle use. We believe Brian will continue to champion solutions to meet our community’s most pressing challenges. And as mountain bikers, we believe he will be a champion of spending Measure A funds to get users out on our open space parklands. For these reasons, we urge our members and supporters to vote for him in the upcoming election.
