This past year, WABA received a grant from Maryland’s Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Administration’s Highway Safety Office. The goal of the project was to put on a Youth Leadership Institute- mentor four Prince George’s County youth, ages 14-18, and help them learn about vulnerable road users in Prince George’s County, the county in Maryland […]

Southern Prince George’s County faces transportation challenges that affect residents, businesses and employees, visitors, and the quality of life. Indian Head Highway is particularly unsafe, southern PGC transit falls short, and the area lacks safe pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure and the network of trails found in other parts of the county. Equity is a key consideration. 

If you’re a recreational rider or bike commuter or family biker – if you want to see safe streets and the creation of new trails and bike lanes and easy transit access – if you’re an advocate or county or state official or just a biking enthusiast – please join us at the summit.
