Parking Protected Bike Lane Advocacy Call
The Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia is teaming up with PA Safe Roads PAC and Families for Safe Streets Greater Philadelphia (FSSGP) to go to Harrisburg!
Please join Policy Director Julio Rodriguez on May 27 for a virtual call to discuss Parking Protected Bike Lanes, the Jay Alert Pilot, Intelligent Speed Assistance, and our upcoming advocacy day in Harrisburg, PA, June 9, 2026.
More about our advocacy priorities:
Parking Protected Bike Lanes (PPBL): There are only 15 parking protected bike lanes in Philadelphia as a result of a pilot BCGP advocated for with OTIS and PennDOT in 2017. In order for the City to install more — and for other municipalities to install their own — the PA State legislature must pass new legislation
The Jay Alert Pilot would create a notification system in Philadelphia where autobody shops would receive details of vehicles involved in a hit and run. In 2026, 29 people have lost their lives to traffic violence, four of which were hit and runs.
Speed kills: One of Ten People survive if they are hit at 40mph, whereas nine of ten people survive if they’re hit at 20mph. The Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) program would offer an alternative for drivers facing license suspension for excessive driving by installing a device limiting speed on their vehicle in lieu of driver suspension. Here is a video of how this policy is working in Virgina.
