The goal of the Bike Safety Working Group is to improve the safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs). We work with MIT, local, state, and federal government as well as local advocacy groups.
We are currently working on:
- Expanding truck safety requirements (ex: lateral protective devices) to MIT’s preferred vendors
- Recommending safety improvements to Amherst Alley
- Improving cycling education and community engagement
- Collecting testimony on crashes or near-misses near campus
If you have been involved in a crash or near-miss, we want to hear from you. All members of the community are invited to fill out this incident report.
If you want to get involved, please email us at gsc-eab-bike@mit.edu.
