All Eyes, Ears & Voices

To serve the bicycling needs of our community, we need all members and friends to be activists, attend meetings and monitor road conditions.

City and County Governments and Planning Commissions are much more likely to hear and respond to requests when those requests are supported by many people. We can have this affect by creating a roomful of people or a mailbox full of letters or emails.

We also can be advocates by monitoring road conditions. Everyone, on every bike ride, on every drive in our County can keep their eyes open for conditions requiring repair, dangerous obstacles and road repairs that have been done incorrectly. Of these, incorrect repair is a common problem because road workers often do not understand what constitutes a danger for bicyclists.

When directing complaints, refer to "Safety Problem & Bicycling Hazard Contacts" below and always copy your email to the County Supervisor and Bike SLO County. This is an effective way to give add weight to your request by enlarging the circle of people aware of the problem and asking questions as its resolution.

Be firm, clear, specific and polite. There are people in Caltrans and the County who are willing to act on your information. Above all, stop depending on others, become and active advocate. Some agencies have website that support reporting problems. If you know of such a site, let us know and we'll use the links below.

Law Enforcement Non-Emergency Phone Numbers

Call 911 if you are involved in or observe an incident that requires an emergency response.

If you are involved in or witness an incident that does not constitute a 911 response, you can still report the incident to a local law enforcement agency. Listed below are the non-emergency telephone numbers for the law enforcement agencies in our county.

It is suggested that you place these numbers in your cell phone directory in the event that you want to report an incident.

Be prepared to provide some basic information:

  • Your location (This is critical!)
  • Nature of incident
  • Vehicle's description: make, model, color and license number, if possible
  • Vehicle's direction of travel
