Our Mayor wants a Safer Philadelphia, and we share that dream. In order for Mayor Parker to achieve her commitment to reach zero traffic deaths by 2050, the City must give Vision Zero the money it needs to succeed. We ask Mayor Parker and City Council for a budget that prioritizes our safety by increasing the Vision Zero line item to $5 million in the FY2026 Capital Budget. Add your name, sign the petition! https://lnkd.in/emfrgkpP

Powered by Member support, the Bicycle Coalition ended 2024 with several legislative victories including passing the ‘Get Out the Bike Lane’ bill, Authorizing Speed Cameras on Broad St. and Route 13, a landmark investment in the Circuit Trails Network, and two short term bandaids to save SEPTA operating funding until the next budget season. As we begin 2025, there is great momentum in the City, the greater Philadelphia region, and statewide to continue our efforts to build an active transportation network, save lives, and create an efficient transit system. Read on to learn which key areas we will be focusing our advocacy work this year and how you can get involved. https://lnkd.in/eHMenjb9

Calling all Bike Shop owners and staff in the Greater Philadelphia region! The Bicycle Coalition is hosting it's second Bike Shop Roundtable next Tuesday, February 4th from 10 - 11 AM. The roundtable will be held at our office building in Center City Philadelphia with an option to attend virtually. Please reach out to uma@bicyclecoalition.org for more details and to RSVP.

We are so excited to have been invited to celebrate the authorization of speed cameras on Route 13. Route 13 is the second corridor after Broad St allowed in the 2023 bill that made the Roosevelt Blvd program permanent and expanded it to 5 additional corridors. We look forward to seeing slower speeds on some of Philly's most dangerous roads!
