Complete the Schuylkill River Trail Needs Your Support

We want to build on the great victory scored on February 17, 2010, when the Obama Administration awarded Philadelphia and Camden $23 million in stimulus funds to build 10 different segments of the Schuylkill River Trail, the East Coast Greenway and the Camden GreenWay. There is still work to be done -- six segments of the Schuylkill River Trail remain to be built!

Between March 9-11th, the Bicycle Coalition volunteers, staff and Board members are attending the National Bicycle Summit to advocate for more investment in healthy infrastructure that promotes active transportation.  We'll be asking our Congressional delegation to co-sponsor H.R. 4722, the "Active Community Transportation" Act and to support federal appropriations to build additional segments along the Schuylkill River Trail and East Coast Greenway.  Take a moment to participate in the Virtual Lobby Day by sending this letter to your Congressional Representatives.  

Are you willing to make a "trail toll" gift of $35, $50 or $120 to help us complete the trail?

Study Finds Viable Market for Bike Sharing in Philadelphia

The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia released a final report on the viability of bike sharing in Philadelphia. The result of a year of research, the “Philadelphia Bike Share Concept Study” found that a market for bike sharing exists in Philadelphia and recommended a system of 2,500 to 4,500 bicycles.

Take Action

Participate in the National Bicycle Summit's Virtual Lobby Day by sending this LETTER to your Congressional representatives asking them to co-sponsor HR4722, the "Active Community Transportation Act", which will make $2 Billion available to cities and communities to invest in walking and bicycling infrastructure.
