Clean RIDES Network Launches in California

April 1, 2025/by Kendra Ramsey

Clean RIDES is a multi-state coalition working to make our transportation systems greener and more equitable. CalBike is part of this effort, which involves more than 100 organizations. By creating a network of state-focused organizations supporting the same mission, Clean RIDES seeks to build a powerful, national movement to effect the kinds of change CalBike has worked toward in California for many years.

Transportation decisions are made at the state level

While the current federal regime may seek to wipe bike lanes off the map, the truth is that most transportation decisions, including funding, are made at the state level. Clean RIDES is creating a network of organizations working to influence state transportation policies in a coordinated way. 

The coalition will build strength through idea-sharing and support and give a louder voice to the demands for clean transportation options, both at the state and federal levels. The group is committed to using an equity lens and making sure that the voices of the most impacted communities are centered in its policy decisions.

The Clean RIDES Network currently includes seven states: California, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania. The California effort is led by ClimatePlan, a coalition focused on creating a sustainable and equitable California; CalBike is a member of the Advisory Board and actively collaborates on policy work within the coalition. Clean RIDES hopes to add more states to the network as the movement expands.

Next steps for Clean RIDES

The Clean RIDES Network has outlined a five-year, multi-state campaign to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation. State networks, including the one CalBike is part of in California, are excited to jump in and start the work.

Clean RIDES is a bold and ambitious effort at a time when we need bold and ambitious ideas to combat climate change and increase transportation equity. CalBike is proud to be a part of this innovative coalition.
