TAKE ACTION
The Coalition takes action for safer streets–but we can’t do it alone. There are several ways to get involved with ongoing campaigns to improve infrastructure and safety all-around. Check them out below.

Move the Circuit Forward
Connecting our region with a 800+ mile network of bicycle and pedestrian trails would bring enormous benefits for our health, economy, property values and sense of community and livability. The Coalition has a goal to connect 500 miles by 2025.
If you live in one of the nine counties of Greater Philadelphia and want to see more miles of Circuit Trails added to that network, please take action! Ask your county elected officials to commit $10 million a year of federal funds for specific Circuit trail projects.

Step Up for Parking Protected Bike Lanes
What do we want? Parking-protected bike lanes!
When do want them? NOW!
Currently, PennDOT does not allow for the installation of parking-separated bike lanes on state-owned roads. Amending state legislation is an issue that the Bicycle Coalition, the City of Philadelphia, and our partners have been working on since the 2017-2018 legislative session. As an interim solution, PennDOT has permitted a pilot program to demonstrate protected bike lanes on selected state roads in Philadelphia.
A pilot program is not enough; we need permanent measures to save cyclist lives.
Join us in calling on our state legislators to pass HB1283, and legalize parking-protected bike lanes across the Commonwealth.
