St. George, UT

AARP Community Challenge Grant Year: 2024

Project Category: Bikeability

Description: Cyclists, including many older adults, lacked convenient repair options on popular trails, leaving riders stranded and discouraging outdoor activity. The alliance installed four Fix-it stations equipped with tools and air pumps across trails in four cities near local communities, with local governments assisting in placement. These stations provide peace of mind, promote safe cycling and strengthen collaboration with city leaders. One visitor said the station made it easy to inflate tires and adjust a seat without a trip to the gas station, underscoring its value for active transportation.
