Voting local is the single most important thing you can do to make Baltimore a more livable city.


I Bike I Vote Wins

In the 2016 Primary Election, Bikemore announced a simple 4-point platform at a rally attended by every major mayoral and city council candidate running for office. Subsequently, Bikemore's platform was incorporated into several official mayoral and city council candidate platforms. Many of these candidates won their primaries.

We are built on that success in 2018 with our 501(c)(4) advocacy arm, Bikemore in Action, which allows us to endorse legislation, actively lobby, and endorse, grade, or even donate to candidates.

In 2020, we endorsed candidates based on their commitment to transportation policyβ€”and the majority of them won their elections.

The I Bike, I Vote Platform

In each local election cycle, we run voter education and GOTV efforts promoting transportation as one of the most critical issues facing Baltimore.

  1. We support candidates who understand that access to reliable transportation affects social mobility as much as crime, educational test scores, or percentages of two-parent families. We support candidates that understand a third of Baltimore lacks access to a car, and that improving access to public and active transportation is an essential part of the path to upward mobility for Baltimore's poor.

  2. We support candidates who will hold public agencies accountable so bicycle infrastructure is built on time and to spec the first time by competent contractors, and are subsequently maintained with a regular maintenance plan. We support candidates who have a plan for agency coordination that will prevent bike and pedestrian facilities from being erased from the streets to prioritize automobile traffic during road or adjacent building construction.

  3. We support candidates who understand that difficult decisions like lowering speed limits, removing parking or vehicular travel lanes, and implementing comprehensive traffic calming measures to downsize dangerous major thoroughfares are a necessary step toward improving the vibrancy and safety of our neighborhoods and business districts.

  4. We support candidates who believe that City-led improvements to bicycle and pedestrian safety and access are something from which all neighborhoods should benefit.
