We’re changing the conversation this election

On Wednesday we hosted our first ever Mayoral Transportation Forum. Over 200 people filled the studio at Real News Network and heard leading candidates share their vision for transportation. Candidates went on the record and expressed support for solutions like expanding the Circulator, building the Separated Bike Lane Network, and even tearing down the JFX. 

This success of the forum made two things clear: people want to vote for someone who understands why reliable, sustainable, and equitable transportation is critical for Baltimore’s future. And Bikemore is leading the conversation. 

But if Baltimore is going to make meaningful progress and become a city for people -- not just for cars, we need to do more. We need your help. 

We're only two months from primary Election Day. Join us now and be part of the movement of people who are ready to hold candidates accountable.  

Thank you to our partners, Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition, and the Real News Network; without their support, the forum would not have been a success.

Mayoral Transportation Forum Recording

On Wednesday, February 26, Bikemore in Action hosted our first Mayoral Transportation Forum with five leading mayoral candidates: Sheila Dixon, Mary Miller, Brandon Scott, Thiru Vignarajah, and Mary Washington.

This event would not have been possible without the support of our partners Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition, Central Maryland Transportation Alliance, and the Real News Network.

You can watch the recording of the forum below.

What city-wide candidates have to say about transportation

I Bike I Vote launched in 2015 to encourage local candidates to develop policy platforms on transportation. We wanted to educate voters about the ways transportation intersects with other important issues like public safety, schools, and economic development. The Red Line had been cancelled and the city was still reeling from the effects of the death of Freddie Gray. It was a pivotal time, an important election, and we wanted to do our part in making sure folks turned out to vote. 

Five years later, Bikemore has grown both in size and influence. We have become a leader in transportation advocacy. 

Candidates owe it to the citizens of Baltimore to have a plan to ensure everyone has access to transportation that is safe, affordable, and reliable. Transportation is the foundation that allows people to get to work and school. It means people can access necessities like fresh food and health care. It enables people to explore Baltimore and experience all it has to offer without searching for parking. 

Today we released the responses to our questionnaire from candidates running for citywide offices. On Wednesday, we are co-hosting a Mayoral Forum so that citizens can hear the candidates’ positions on transportation in real-time. 

In the next few weeks, you can expect the release of more candidate questionnaires, a forum for candidates running for City Council President, and analysis that will see how candidates stack up against our vision for transportation in Baltimore. 

Get educated. Get engaged. And stay tuned. We’re just getting started.
