This is accomplished by providing safety training, information, and education to people biking and driving through classes, rides, media campaigns, and educational campaigns and materials.(iv) Community Advocates NetworkThe Community Advocates Network (CAN) is a network of transportation and mobility advocates from neighborhoods in every City Council district.
