The Palm Beach MPO works collaboratively with local governments, transportation agencies, and community partners to advance a safe, connected, and efficient multimodal transportation system. The MPO encourages participation in walking and bicycling events and activities throughout the year that promote safety and active transportation. Learn more below.
Florida Bicycle Month
Florida Bicycle Month, celebrated in March of each year, is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling and encourage more people to try bicycling. In recognition of Florida Bicycle Month, the MPO Governing Board adopts a Florida Bicycle Month Proclamation yearly at the March board meeting. The MPO encourages Palm Beach County municipalities to adopt a Florida Bicycle Month Proclamation (Template). For Bicycle Safety information, visit FDOT.gov/AgencyResources.
