09 May A More Bikeable Austin is a More Sustainable Austin
At the core of Bike Austin’s vision and mission is a belief that providing for bicycling as a safe, comfortable, and reliable means of both transportation and recreation will make Austin healthier, more sustainable, and more affordable for the future. And while bicycling is on the rise in Austin, there is a lot of work yet to be done.
Hundreds of cars are added to our roads each week making congestion and pollution in Austin worse. Too many people still see our car-dependent culture as insurmountable and investments in alternative transportation as a waste of money. And, biking on Austin streets is still a nerve-racking and unnecessarily dangerous experience for too many of our family and friends. We can do better. We must do better.
That’s why this year for Bike Month we’re working harder than ever to build a strong voice for more and better bikeways in Austin. We’ve set a goal of getting 50 new members in May to make sure the voice for bicycling remains strong and persuasive in Austin. We can’t do our important work without the support of people like you. Our membership makes all of our advocacy, outreach, and education efforts possible.
We need you to join us so we can continue making the case and backing our allies for bikeways at the neighborhood, city, county, and regional levels. We need you to join us so we can multiply the movement until Austin is truly a better, safer place to bike for everyone.
If you want people to have more transportation choices, we need your support. If you want to help reduce air pollution in Austin, we need your support. If you also want to live in a healthier, more sustainable, and more affordable Austin, we need you to become a member of Bike Austin today! Join in May and receive special discounts at local businesses.
