City Leaders and Staff Ride to Boston for Bike to Work Day

Everett participants join effort promoting safer streets and alternative transportation

EVERETT, MA – On Thursday, May 7, 2026, City leaders, staff, and community members rode together from the West & Wellington Plaza along the Northern Strand Community Trail into Boston in celebration of Bike to Work Day 2026.

Organized locally by the City of Everett’s Transportation & Mobility Department and Transportation Commuter Planner Aya Oulal, the ride was part of the larger regional Bike to Work Day Festival in Downtown Boston, which brings together commuters from communities across Greater Boston.

The event highlighted the importance of safe, connected streets and expanded transportation options for residents and commuters throughout the region. The Northern Strand Community Trail continues to serve as a key connection between Everett and surrounding communities.

“Bike to Work Day gives City leaders the opportunity to experience our streets and transportation network the same way many residents and commuters do every day,” said Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. “As Everett continues investing in safer streets and better connections for pedestrians and cyclists, it is important that we understand how people move through our community and region.”

The ride also recognized National Bike Month, which promotes bicycling as a healthy, sustainable, and accessible transportation option.
