Why Klamath Falls Needs This Awareness

Klamath Falls has worked to become more bike-friendly in recent years, with a separated bike lane completed near downtown and multi-use paths connecting the A Canal Trail, Moore Park, and Steen Sports Park. The Link River Trail draws people walking and biking along the waterfront near downtown, and the Oregon Institute of Technology campus adds a steady flow of students walking and biking to and from Campus Drive.

The City of Klamath Falls continues expanding trail connections and bike infrastructure throughout town. People driving here need to understand how to safely share these corridors, and that is exactly what this free course teaches.
