Share 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.

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.
