Don’t let DDOT derail the Connecticut Ave Protected Bike Lane
Remind the Mayor and her team that keeping people safe is always more important than parking, that bike lanes are GREAT for business, and that every delay means more crashes, more preventable injuries. Build it now and built it right!

WABA Supports the STEP Act in Montgomery County
Data from the county and across the country is clear: police traffic stops perpetuate systemic racial injustice. People of color are more likely to be targeted by police for stops, more likely to be adversely affected by ensuing fines, and more likely to be victims of police violence at traffic stops. This is not an acceptable status quo.
