The Easy Access: Connecting People to Parks and Places Program is designed to reduce barriers to accessing parks along the Emerald Necklace and beyond by providing free electric bike access during guided rides and pop up events along the Emerald Necklace. The San Gabriel and Rio Hondo River Trails connect dozens of parks and communities in the central San Gabriel Valley, including recreational areas such as Whittier Narrows, Santa Fe Dam, Peck Road Water Conservation Park and Hilda Solis Overlook Park. These electric bikes will allow the public to explore segments of the San Gabriel River Trail from the Hilda Solis Overlook to Whittier Narrows and beyond.

We're thankful for the support from Measure A and the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District, whose partnership is crucial in bringing this vision to life. This initiative underscores the value of parks and open spaces in our community, highlighting their significance for everyone's well-being.
