BOZEMAN — Bozeman Mayor Terry Cunningham has posthumously awarded the city's highest honor—a key to the city—to longtime resident Ralph Zimmer. For over four decades, Zimmer dedicated himself to citizen leadership roles focused on bicycle and pedestrian safety across city, county, and state levels.

"Ralph was a tireless advocate for safety throughout his more than 40 years of service," Cunningham said.

"He embodied the concepts of citizen service, gracious leadership, public engagement and practical problem-solving throughout his volunteer service to the City of Bozeman. I will never forget his contributions and how he pushed the City towards improving safety for all."

Zimmer grew up in Colorado and earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Traffic Engineering from Purdue University.
