The Ride+Walk Advisory Committee was formed in January of 2012 to further bicycle and pedestrian facilities, programs, and opportunities in the Warsaw, Winona Lake, and Kosciusko County communities. The Committee is governed by our Bylaws. We cross public and private sectors, for-profit and philanthropic concerns, and municipal boundaries. Government representatives, local agencies, and community advocates are represented on the Committee. The collaborative effort and partnership of these entities has opened the door for significant improvements in the community.
We are here to make Warsaw and Winona Lake better places to live by supporting biking and walking in the Community. We created and oversee implementation of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
As a result of our efforts, Warsaw and Winona Lake have been named a Bicycle Friendly Community
