BACKGROUND <br />FIRM PROFILE <br />Walk'n Rollers is a grass -roots, local non-profit <br />organization focused on Safe Routes to School <br />programming. Utilizing various education and <br />engagement activities we have worked with gov- <br />ernment agencies, school districts and urban <br />planning/environmental engineering firms on <br />programs in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside <br />counties. <br />Since 2010, we have worked with students of all <br />ages, from Pre-K through high school in a wide <br />range of socio-economic communities through- <br />out Southern California. We have collaborated <br />with local government and school districts alike <br />as well as organizations such as Southern Cali- <br />fornia Association of Governments (SCAG), Or- <br />ange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), <br />LA Metro, CicLAvia, National Parks Service, <br />YMCA and Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition <br />(LACBC). We have overseen and implemented <br />city-wide SRTS programs in Orange County, <br />Culver City and Pico Rivera, hosted hundreds of <br />pedestrian and bicycle education events includ- <br />ing Kids Bike Skills Workshops, Walk'n Roll <br />Festivals, Bike Repair Days and Group Rides. <br />Our experience working in these diverse com- <br />munities allows us to bring a unique level of edu- <br />cation and encouragement -focused expertise. <br />Executive Director and Founder Jim Shanman's <br />experience as a parent and Culver City's Safe <br />Routes to School Coordinator, provides Walk'.n <br />Rollers with a SRTS expert and community <br />champion who relates well to children and par- <br />ents alike. As a SRTS Coordinator, Jim brings an <br />understanding of how to build bridges between <br />City Hall and School Districts and move projects <br />forward in a collaborative process. As a League <br />Cycling Instructor (LCI), Jim's teaching experi- <br />ences underscores Walk'n Rollers' commitment <br />to providing quality education experiences in all <br />of Walk'n Rollers' activities. <br />TYPES OF SERVICES <br />Safe Routes to School Programming <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Education <br />Community Bike Repair Days <br />Community Bike Repair and Re -Distribution <br />Walk Audits <br />Community Event Planning and Outreach <br />STAFF SIZE <br />1 full time employee <br />2 part time employees <br />Bicycle Safety Educators (LCls) and Bicycle <br />Mechanics contracted as needed <br />MAIN CONTACTIKEY PERSONNEL <br />Jim Shanman <br />Executive Director <br />310.204.4346 <br />jim@walkmorebikem ore.org <br />YEAR FOUNDED <br />2010, Non-profit incorporation, 2018 <br />Federal Tax I.D. 82-5421547 <br />PROJECT OFFICE LOCATION <br />8800 Venice Blvd., Suite 301 <br />Los Angeles, CA 900034 <br />Tel: 310.204.4346 <br />Fax: 310.204.4304 <br />www.walkmorebikemore.org <br />REFERENCES <br />Quang Nguyen <br />Senior Engineer, <br />Public Works Dept., City of Moreno Valley <br />951-413-3159; quangn@moval.org <br />Heba EI-Guindy <br />Senior Engineer <br />Public Works Dept., City of Culver City <br />323-933-7754; Heba.El-Guindy@culvercityorg <br />Kyra Tao <br />Transportation Manager <br />Public Works Dept., City of Placentia <br />(714) 993-6121; ktao@piacentia.org <br />www.walkmorebikemore. org <br />
