ATP Cycle 2 Aims to Fund New Bikeways Statewide
/by ZacThe California Transportation Commission will award grants to 113 of the 617 projects that applied for funding from the second round of the state Active Transportation Program, or $215 million for projects that requested more than $1 billion. This significant unmet need demonstrates why your California Bicycle Coalition continues to push for more funding to […]

Your California Bicycle Coalition asked her to pull the bill, and thousands of people from across California chimed in on our petition. Senator Liu heard nearly unanimous opposition […]

New GHSA Report Gets It Wrong
/by ZacA recent report by the Governors Highway Safety Association attracted a great deal of attention, but the way they present the data is misleading.
