SPEAK UP for Parking-Protected Bike Lanes

Join the Bicycle Coalition and Families for Safe Streets Greater Philadelphia as we head back to Harrisburg on Tuesday, June 4th to talk to elected officials about the benefits of Parking Protected Bike Lanes and why it’s urgent they be legalized across the commonwealth.

Currently, PennDOT does not allow for the installation of parking-separated bike lanes on state-owned roads. Amending state legislation is an issue that the Bicycle Coalition, the City of Philadelphia, and our partners have been working on since the 2017-2018 legislative session. As an interim solution, PennDOT has permitted a pilot program to demonstrate protected bike lanes on selected state roads in Philadelphia. An interim solution is not enough — we need this program to be made permanent.

Join us in calling on our state legislators to save lives by passing HB1283.
