Our first program of July is going to introduce you to an invested "spokesperson" to chat about how you can get involved in the 2024 Closer to Free Ride fueling research and care at Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Cancer Center while giving riders of all levels the chance to experience five professionally designed and fully supported routes ranging from 10 to 100 miles.

Then we'll combine transportation and environmental health as we bring in a panel talking about the Connecticut DOT 2024 CT Rides Climate Challenge. During the Challenge, residents across Connecticut united to reduce their carbon footprint by choosing sustainable travel options rather than driving alone.

And we'll close things out by sticking with the subject of our environment - specifically the state' clean energy industries - which continue to multiply their reciprocal returns to the tune of $7.68 billion to the state’s Gross Regional Product. We'll bring in a principal from the firm that put the report together to unpack what it all means, so tune in!
