‘Streets For All Coalition’; CalBike Joins Shared E-Bike, Scooter Partners in Unveiling Equity, Sustainability Principles

March 28, 2019/in Connecting, Newsroom, Press Release, Streets for Everyone, The Latest /by Mallory Hill

For Immediate Release

CalBike Co-Founds “Streets For All Coalition” to Unite Bike Riders, Scooter Users, and Pedestrians

New Coalition Brings Together Environmental Organizations, Active
Transportation Advocates, and Sustainable New Mobility Operators to Improve
Transportation and Tackle Climate Change

 

Sacramento, CA (March 3rd, 2019) – The California Bicycle Coalition announced on
Wednesday that the advocacy organization has signed on as a founding member of the new
“Streets for All” coalition, whose co-founders are working to harness the potential of shared
mobility options such as bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters to reduce car dependence as alternative
to automobiles become more popular while the streets remain unsafe.

“The political power of the automobile lobby has made our streets great for fast driving but
dangerous for everyone else. To change that, we need our own people power. Scooters bring a
massive new constituency to the movement for safer streets. Together in coalition we can make our
communities more equitable, inclusive, and prosperous by making it safer to use our streets on
bikes, on foot, or on scooters,” said Dave Snyder, Executive Director of the California Bicycle
Coalition, founding member of Streets for All.

Other founding members of the coalition include:

● Bikemore
● Bird
● Circulate San Diego
● Climate Action Campaign
● Forth Mobility
● Monday Motorbike
● New Jersey Bike & Walk Coalition
● Razor
● Spin
● Tri-State Transportation Campaign

The organizations will utilize the breadth of their expertise to work together and help to improve
the safety and mobility of cities’ streets—everywhere, for everyone.

“There is no question that the climate crisis is the most urgent challenge of our generation. To
address it, we need a swift mode shift that replaces gas guzzling car trips with clean energy
micromobility options that improve the sustainability and overall safety of our cities ,” said David
Estrada, Chief Policy Officer of Bird, a Streets for All founding member. “We need smart
policies that allow this mode shift to expand responsibly and equitably.”

“Forth is excited to be a founding member of the Streets for All coalition,” said Jeanette Shaw,
Director of Government Relations for Forth Mobility based in Portland, Oregon. “Microtransit
such as e-scooters can provide an equitable, affordable, and sustainable transportation option.
This aligns with Forth’s mission to advance electric mobility to help transform lives and
communities for the better. We look forward to working with the Coalition to enhance electric
transportation access while minimizing environmental impact.”

“Our city streets are precious public spaces that, with the right design and management, can
provide enjoyment, access, and opportunity for all. Spin is passionate about helping cities
reclaim their streets for people, and so we’re tremendously excited to be a founding member of
the Streets for All Coalition,” said Beaudry Kock, Director of Infrastructure Programs and
Policy for Spin. “Along with our advocate and industry partners, we look forward to providing
support and encouragement to cities, as they work to fulfill one of their core responsibilities:
ensuring streets are safe and vibrant places for everyone to use and enjoy.”

Colin Parent, Executive Director and General Counsel for Circulate San Diego said,
“Circulate San Diego is proud to partner with other advocates and industry to ensure safe and
equitable access to new transportation choices.”

BLACK LIVES MATTER

California will never have the equitable, prosperous and inclusive communities that CalBike advocates for until we address and redress anti-Black violence. We want to actively contribute to ending systemic racism, especially in transportation policy, and most especially in bicycling advocacy. We promise to listen and learn how we can best do this work. To our community members who experience the violence of racism on a daily basis: we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.
