The significant safety benefits of lane sharing and filtering have long been intuitively known by experienced riders. But getting non-riding political leaders -- and the American public -- to accept this has been impossible (except in California).

Shifting economic, social and cultural factors are providing new opportunities for riders to advocate change. For example, to reduce urban congestion, save energy and lower accident rates any municipal government could legalize lane sharing and filtering on all of the local roads and streets within it's boundaries. Wouldn’t that be nice in your city?

We hope you'll download and read this helpful new paper on lane sharing and filtering. Additional resources for advocates are available at www.ridetowork.org, including an Oregon State study of Lane Sharing.
