Parking Protected Bike Lane & Pedestrian Safety Advocacy Call

Join Bicycle Coalition Policy Director Julio Rodriguez on April 30th for a virtual call about Parking Protected Bike Lanes (PPB), Jay Alert Pilot, Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), and our upcoming June 9 advocacy day in Harrisburg, PA.

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. Passing the PPB would give municipalities in Pennsylvania the ability to install PPB. Which would result in more Parking Protected Bike Lanes.

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.
