Together for a Walkable,
Bikeable Naples.
Championing Safer Streets, Combating Distracted Driving,
and Creating Unified Communities in Collier County
Many of our streets have become too dangerous for those trying to navigate by foot or bicycles
FLORIDA TOPS THE CHARTS FOR THE MOST BICYCLIST AND PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES
Collier County and Naples are celebrated for their beauty and exquisite quality of life. Unfortunately, our streets have become perilous for people who bike, walk, and run. Distracted driving, speeding, and decreased awareness of cyclists and pedestrians have resulted in numerous preventable crashes, fatalities, and injuries. This is particularly concerning given that Florida is among the top states for road fatalities.
- Not enough safe paths for cyclists and pedestrians
- Distracted driving causes more crashes
- Lack of laws protecting cyclists
Shouldn’t we all be able to share the road safely?
Isn’t a pedestrian or cyclist’s life more valuable than taking that call or reading that text behind the wheel?
We have sadly seen too many fatalities and know that there are more to come unless we take decisive action.
NAPLES PATHWAYS
