 Bicycle Coalition of Maine - Safety - Education - Access

Same Road, Same Rules, Same Rights: Share the RoadShare the Road

Since 1992, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine has been advocating for bicycling safety, education, and access. Our Share the Road Campaign aims to educate both bicyclists and motorists about safe, responsible driving. We have succeeded in getting five pages added to the Maine Motorist Handbook, a bicycle safety question on the Maine Driver Exam, and have been training Driver Education Instructors about how to teach new drivers about sharing the road.

Since 2004, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine (BCM) has partnered with state and federal agencies and media outlets throughout Maine on Share the Road educational campaigns to make the state’s roadways safer for both bicyclists and motorists. We have received grants from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Maine Bureau of Highway Safety and MaineDOT to support the creation and airing of TV and radio public service announcements (PSAs) with our Share the Road message.

Watch and listen for the Bicycle Coalition of Maine's Share The Road media spots and remember to always drive responsibly -- whether in a car or on your bicycle.
