BUILDING YOUR SUMMIT

FORM a coalition

the architecture of regional safety

The Bellemont Project transforms fragmented community efforts into a unified regional strategy. Our Summit Services bring together municipal leaders, law enforcement, and school districts to build strong cross-border coalitions. Guided by our Six-Point Plan, we help counties move away from confusing, mismatched local regulations. Instead, we guide you in establishing official partnerships, such as Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs), to create a single, lasting, cohesive safety framework that protects young riders and restores peace to your streets.

Bridging the Gap to Civic Action

For regions where civic leaders are stuck in the enforcement gap: high enforcement failing to solve high misconduct, crashes and injuries, we provide the bridge that brings effective solutions to the table. Frontline stakeholders work with us to organize the data, develop a consensus, and build frameworks necessary to present civic leaders with turn-key solutions. We move the conversation from neighborhood frustration to strategic solutions..

Beth Black: Your Secret to Success

Beth Black brings a uniquely qualified blend of behavioral science expertise, industry credibility, and regional safety leadership that is exceptionally well-suited to convene and guide a multi-stakeholder e-bike safety summit.

A UC Irvine-trained social ecologist, credentialed educator, and nationally recognized e-bike safety advocate, Black combines deep knowledge of adolescent behavior and community dynamics with six years of hands-on experience co-owning and operating a nationally recognized e-bike dealership. This rare combination allows her to bridge the gap between policymakers, educators, law enforcement, healthcare professionals, parents, retailers, and riders—particularly teens, who are central to the current safety challenge.

Unlike advocates tied to manufacturers or commercial interests, Black provides objective, safety-first guidance grounded in data, risk reduction, and practical implementation. Her expertise includes educating communities on the critical distinctions between legal e-bikes and high-powered illegal e-motos, current market realities, rider behavior, and effective youth-centered communication strategies.

Black also brings immediate access to a national network of safety and injury-prevention professionals through her leadership roles with the Bellemont Project and the American Bicycling Education Association (ABEA) as well as her membership in the American Trauma Society. She is the author of the Amazon bestselling book, The Caring Parent’s E-Bike Survival Guide, Second Edition.

Most importantly, Black is not simply a presenter — she is a strategic facilitator capable of helping jurisdictions move from fragmented conversations to coordinated regional action. Her proven framework for cross-sector collaboration supports the development of partnerships, task forces, policy alignment, community education initiatives, and funding readiness, including positioning agencies for opportunities such as California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) grants.

By engaging Beth Black, the county gains not only a subject matter expert, but a trusted systems-level partner capable of aligning diverse stakeholders around practical, scalable, and community-centered e-bike safety solutions.
