For Katie, a car-free parent in Mountain View, El Camino Real isn’t just a road—it’s part of her daily life. But before the new protected bike lane on El Camino Real, she felt stressed every time she biked with her child.
Today, those same trips feel "safe, easy, and accessible."
"The new protected bike lane has been truly transformative," Katie says. "Trips that once felt daunting now feel safe, easy, and accessible. It hasn’t just changed how I travel—it’s changed how I feel moving through my community."
Safer streets make car-free living possible for families like Katie’s, but these changes don’t happen by accident. They happen because of your support.
While Katie’s story is a win, our work is far from over. Critical safety measures are still lacking along much of El Camino Real, putting lives at risk every day.
