Episode Details

In this episode, I connect with Ken McLeod, Policy Director at the League of American Bicyclists, for an in-depth discussion about the current federal, state, and local active mobility policy landscape in the United States.

The League of American Bicyclists, based in Washington, DC, is a membership-based organization that has been fighting for the rights and needs of cyclists, specifically and active mobility in general, since 1880.

As Policy Director, Ken McLeod is at the forefront of these policy discussions as well as monitoring the critical updates to the various design guide manuals that influence what actually can be built.
