Ride with WABA on the Old Georgetown Road protected bike lanes from Executive Boulevard to Cedar Lane. It’s your opportunity to show support for these lanes which have literally saved lives by making the sidewalk and the road safe for all those walking, biking and accessing transit on this state highway. It is possible we will make this ride a weekly or monthly event. Contact me (peter@waba.org) if you are interested in a recurring ride. See you Tuesday November 4!

More about Montgomery County Equitable Bikeways

Montgomery County's piecemeal approach to building bike infrastructure is not aligned with its stated climate, safety, and equity goals,

In 2021, WABA assembled a proposal that prioritized projects in the county's existing (and laudabe!) Bicycle Master Plan within county-designates Equity Focus Areas. You can read the report here. With around $110 million, the County could build all of the Tier 1 bikeway projects in most of the equity emphasis areas in the County. This dollar amount spread over the FY 23-28 six year capital budget period is consistent with current commitments to biking and walking

More about Complete Streets

Complete Streets are streets designed to accommodate all users, and that prioritize historically underinvested modes of transportation like transit, walking, and biking. An incomplete street might lack adequate sidewalks, low-stress bike infrastructure, or safe and comfortable access to transit.

Effective Complete Streets policies change the way a jurisdiction plans and builds transportation infrastructure—sidewalks, low stress bike infrastructure, and transit should be included in any new or rebuilt street by default, rather than as an add-on when there's space or demand.

While most regional jurisdictions have a Complete Streets policy of some sort, they lack teeth and permit transportation departments to continue to build streets that put cars first and squeeze other modes into the margins.

More about 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.
