The City of Tucson Department of Transportation, with the support from Pima Association of Governments, the Tucson-Pima Bicycle Advisory Committee, and Ward 6 Council Member Nina Trasoff are sponsoring a "Light the Night" bicycle light distribution campaign.

Teams of volunteers will install bicycle lights and educate bicyclists on the law requiring bicycles to have operating lights at night and provide information on safe riding.

The bicycle lights will be installed from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 19, at the intersection of Third Street and Treat Avenue.

Bicycles will be equipped with a basic set of front and rear lights by volunteers from BAC, the Greater Arizona Bicycle Association and El Grupo Youth Cycling Center. Lights will only be installed on bicycles without lights.
