If you were unable to attend Bike Delaware’s 2013 Strategic Vision and Vote on November 15, you can still vote online here.  Please tell us who you are and then rank your support of the following 10 candidate goals (the leading vote getters on November 15).  You can indicate the level of your support for the candidate goal by voting for the goal in one of three different ways:  ‘I support this goal’ OR  ‘I support this goal and am willing to help’  OR ‘I support this goal and am willing to lead‘.

Please do not vote for every goal listed below even if you think they are all meritorious. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to pursue all of these goals in 2013 with the focus that would be required to achieve them all.  We need to prioritize and select only the two or three most urgent and timely of the goals listed below that will do the most to advance Bike Delaware’s mission of making bicycling a safe, convenient and fun transportation option in Delaware.  By voting only for the goals below that meet that requirement, you will help prioritize these goals and determine which are pursued.

If you have any problems voting or have any questions, please email SV2013@bikede.org.
