As part of Rome becoming designated as a Park And Trails NY Erie Canal Town several businesses have become Bike Friendly PTNY Certified.

- How to become certified? I will help! It’s easy.
- What can be done to help you?
- How can we work together to help each other? What ideas do you and others have?
- And we can provide some basis valuable history?
- Learn what other communities on the Erie Canal are doing:
Please email back if you plan to attend or can’t at this time. I can also do an evening session.
Please share with other local businesses and attractions and reply if interested.

I’m passionate about the Erie Canal and Trail and Rome NY. In my past life, I was a facilitator for a highly recognized firm conducting Voice of the Customer programs and Organizational Development. Then I started scuba diving and ran a small shop in Rome. (It’s like selling snowblowers in Georgia but we did it!) I did a stint with the Rome Chamber of Commerce Board may years ago during the creation of Shop Rome First. Come on and join us!
