2020 Advocacy Priorities

In 2019 we updated our Strategic Plan based on community input. With that framework in mind, our advocacy work in 2020 will focus on achieving #SafeStreetsforAll through:

As Atlanta's leading bicycling advocacy organization, we are dedicated to creating better conditions for bicycling in Atlanta. We work with Atlanta's leaders and citizens to plan and build safe, comfortable, and connected infrastructure for people cycling, walking, and using other forms of Light Individual Transportation (LIT). We seek to protect all LIT users, conduct safety campaigns, and educate motorists and LIT users to prevent crashes. Our advocacy work in 2020 will focus on achieving #safestreetsforall through:

-Advocating for city-wide adoption of Vision Zero and safe speeds legislation.

-Holding leaders accountable to complete LIT infrastructure projects in existing Atlanta transportation plans.

-Engaging, informing,and developing community advocates for safe streets.

-Participating in transit campaigns led by advocacy partners for bus stop access and equitable fare policies.

-Advocate for workplaces and Atlanta Public Schools to adopt active transportation policies through programs such as Shifting Gears, Hack Your Commute, and City Cycling.

-Developing and supporting Atlanta's Families for Safe Streets chapter.

-Publishing a 2020 policy agenda to ensure campaigns are strategically aligned to goals, transparency with our members, and clear articulation of our priorities to Atlanta's citizens and leaders.
