The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition works closely with city leaders in Atlanta to implement policies that make it safer and better to bike in Atlanta!

Bike lane cleanups

• Our ask: We are asking the city to prioritize bike lanes for street sweeping to make all bike lanes clear of debris, trash, and gravel.
• Challenges: Regularly scheduled street sweepings don't always include streets with bike lanes, and bike lanes generally need to be swept more frequently than other types of lanes.
• Progress: The City of Atlanta agreed to dedicate funding and energy to keep protected bike lanes clean. 

Bike share

• Our ask: ABC is planning an effort promote equitable access to bike share in underserved communities and to raise awareness of bike share's potential as a last-mile transit option.
• Challenges: Funding for bike share is through sponsorship and advertising, so stations in underserved communities may need to be subsidized. 
• Progress: ABC received grant funding from the Atlanta Regional Commission to conduct a text-based survey about how people could use bikes for last-mile transportation in their communities. The survey launched in Spring of 2016 and we are currently evaluating the results.

We also serve on the following committees - if you have questions or would like to share ideas, please contact us! 

• Renew Atlanta Infrastructure Bond Technical Advisory Committee: ABC's goal is to provide technical assistance and oversight on implementation of bond transportation projects.
