Projects

We believe that combining advocacy and education with direct action is the best way to achieve meaningful, lasting impact that results in more livable streets. That’s why we get directly involved in transportation projects around Boston, helping to create momentum, build consensus, and foster cooperation between groups. 

Campaigns:

• Charles River Better Bridge Campaign

          Better Bridges that are safe, rebalanced, and healthy
          Safe streets and intersections for everyone including our most vulnerable users.
          Rebalanced equally for bicyclists, pedestrians, public transportation and private cars.
          Healthy more accessible communities that give people opportunities to drive less.
