Dear supporters,

As we reflect back on 2019, we have a lot to be proud of.

  1. Our team grew from a staff of three to five.

  2. Our Mobile Bike Shop fixed 90 bikes and talked to 200+ people about how to make their neighborhood streets safer for walking and biking.

  3. The dockless bike and scooter permit program became permanent, with ridership peaking at  282,817 in September.

  4. At Cranksgiving 240 people rode and volunteered, donating over 1300 pounds of food.

  5. Baltimore Rec and Parks purchased a mobile pump track, providing biking recreation opportunities in neighborhoods across the city.

  6. Steve Sharkey was hired as the new Director of the Department of Transportation, bringing leadership and transparency to the department.

  7. Ten neighborhood leaders, elected officials, and agency staff joined our staff for a study tour about transportation and community development.

  8. We won Advocacy Organization of the Year from the League of American Bicyclists.

  9. We increased protected bike lanes, with Monument Street and Covington Street lanes built and President Street under construction.

  10. Our Complete Streets bill is becoming the Complete Streets Manual, ensuring that all future streets are designed for people not cars.

And it’s you, our community and supporters that have made this possible. We’re ready to build on these wins in 2020, and we hope you’ll join us in building a city for people.

From our team to yours, we’re wishing you the best in the new year!
