A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
UWM Urban Planning Professor Schneider along with the UWM Office of Sustainability, are core team members for the Milwaukee Path to Gold effort. The program takes on the path to becoming a bike friendly city as a path for the whole community to health, prosperity, and independence. It is through that lens, that Milwaukee could achieve a truly diverse and city-wide bicycling community. UWM's role shares and relates the discourse for how plan for a better bicycling community through stakeholder engagement. Since our students, faculty, and staff come from all over the city, UWM is a central node for all transportation planning. The Path to Gold effort is building community advocacy and pairs it with City support. Core team members, along with UWM, include the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin Bike Federation, UW-Extension, Sixteenth Street Community Health Center, and Marquette University. Path to Gold community members come from a diverse group of businesses, planners, bicycle advocates, universities, and public health. The Mayor of Milwaukee has agreed to support this effort and is currently readying the announcement and preparing for financial support as well.
