50 Bikes for 50 Kids is Back for its 5th Year!
We are currently seeking volunteers to build bikes with kids, fit helmets, breakdown cardboard boxes, distribute bike locks, cheer loudly...you name it, we need a volunteer for it. Also needed, are sponsors to make all of the volunteer tasks possible. Please, consider contributing to this event with your time, money, or both! Learn more about 50 Bikes for 50 Kids. We want to extend a special thank you to the Natomas Bike Shop for their continued support of this project. This community-centered bike shop is a true gem in Natomas. Next time you're in need of a tube or new bike, consider visiting the hardworking crew at 3291 Truxel Road. |

In North Natomas, October is Officially WALKTOBER! North Natomas students will take to the sidewalks this October and walk to and from school as many times as possible to track trips and earn prizes. Walking to school also includes riding a bike, using a scooter, or skating. Kick off the fun with the Walk to School Day celebration at your school! Farmer’s Market style breakfast, music and fun for those who walk, bike or scoot to school - all before school starts.

This October, "let transit take you" during the Sacramento region’s Try Transit campaign. This year, volunteers, businesses, public agencies, and transit enthusiasts will partner to promote transit for all types of trips. Transit is an enjoyable alternative to driving alone with 14 organizations serving the Sacramento region, including the Flyer Shuttle.
NNTMA is excited to announce the new North Natomas Transportation Improvement Grant Program. The purpose of this program is to support North Natomas businesses in creating innovative solutions to transportation problems. These small grants, up to $10,000, are designed to stimulate the local economy by providing the means to positively influence the transportation behaviors of customers and/or employees. 
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a National Day of Service, community volunteers will join forces in North Natomas to help 50 kids transform bike parts into 50 ready-to-ride bicycles.
