WABA’s Trail Ranger program is putting a regular set of eyes on DC area trails to support and encourage a growing community of trail users.  The program is made possible through a grant from the District Department of Transportation’s Urban Forestry Division.

Trails are the best. They are low-stress bike infrastructure,  access to nature, parks, landmarks, and community gathering spaces all rolled into one.

WABA's trail advocacy is focused on connecting gaps in our region's trail network; ensuring existing trails are maintained and upgraded to meet current design standards; and expanding the network into underserved parts of the region.

WABA runs a variety of outreach programs that create opportunities for people across the region to join the bicycling community.

WABA fights for a region where biking, walking and transit are the best ways to get around.

We educate policymakers and organize grassroots advocates for to speak up for safer places to bike and walk; and for laws and policies that protect people who are walking and biking, reduce dangerous driving, and facilitate changes to the built environment.
