instructors so that all classes follow a consistent format and curriculum. SAAS instructors are fluent in Spanish, and at least 3 of the classes will be taught solely in Spanish to attract participants with limited English proficiency. Each participant will receive a bicycle helmet and set of bicycle lights. At the completion of each class, the instructors will survey the participants to learn lessons about what was done well and what could be improved for future classes. Survey results will be incorpo- rated into the final report. Task 1 Deliverables: • Ten (10) Traffic Skills 101 bicycle education classes (at least 3 taught in Spanish) • Distribution of helmets and light sets to class participants • Surveys collected from class participants and instructors TASK 2: ORGANIZE AND HOST A LEAGUE CYCLING INSTRUCTOR (LCI) CERTIFICATION SEMINAR Alta will work with the City and the League of American Bicyclists (LAB) to schedule and host a train - the - trainer seminar to certify at least 12 and up to 15 community members as League Cycling Instructors (LCIs). The seminar will take place prior to the final month of the grant cycle to provide continuity of the bicycle education program in Santa Ana: We have 10 LCIs on staff, including Alta Project Manager Ryan Johnson, and thus are Intimately familiar with the steps involved in the certification process. SAAS also has LCIs among its members, and up to 3 of these members will serve as Assistant Instructors during the three day seminar. While the LAB will supply an LCI coach to run the seminar, it requires a local contact to serve as Site Facilitator to organize logistics (such as finding an indoor meeting /classroom space, chairs, tables, etc.), promote the seminar to interested individ- uals, and remain in contact with the LCI Coach. SAAS, with support from Alta and the City, will take the lead on this task to organize the logis- tics for the seminar and advertise to potential LCI candidates. Priority for acceptance into the seminar will be given to participants of this proj- ect's TS -101 classes held earlier in the year who are also committed to making cycling safe and accessible in Santa Ana. The lead LCI instructor will be paid a base compensation through the participants' registration fees, but we will use a portion of the grant funds to supplement the instructor's pay. Task 2 Deliverable: One League Cycling Instructor Training Seminar TASK 3: PROCURE SUPPLIES AND CONDUCT "LIGHT UP THE NIGHT *" DISTRIBUTIONS Alta and SAAS will organize and conduct ten nighttime distributions of bicycle lights, reflec- tive material, and bicycle helmets to passing bicycle riders who are lacking these items. Alta will procure 1,500 helmets and 1,500 sets of bicycle lights, along with reflective arm bands. Optionally, and if the City prefers, rear reflectors The Alta Team will lead the instruction of Traffic Skills 101 workshops in the community. 93
