The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District are organizing Light the Night. The Cities of Champaign and Urbana, Champaign County Bikes, and the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission support this event. Volunteers will install more than 1,000 bike light sets. Lights will only be installed on bicycles without lights; lights will not be given to individuals, participants must bring your bicycle to receive the free light sets.
There is a safety plan in place to minimize the risks of the spread of COVID-19 to volunteers and participants. Volunteers will be provided with hand sanitizers, gloves, and face coverings.
