Rock Creek Park
Whether you're heading to work, out for a scenic ramble, or chasing a PR, or Rock Creek Park is wonderful place to ride a bike.
WABA has worked with grassroots advocates for decades to ensure that Rock Creek Park has the bicycling infrastructure it needs so you can relax and enjoy the scenery.
Recent successes include a recently widened and resurfaced trail, and large sections of Beach Drive that are now permanently closed to cars and open for biking and other forms of recreation.
Current priorities include longer hours for the Zoo tunnel, and more safe ways to get into the park on a bike.

Advocacy
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.
Trails
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.
