Organizers

Atlanta Streets Alive! is a project of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, a local non-profit, in partnership with significant support from District 2 City Councilman Kwanza Hall. Our volunteer planning committee is comprised of representatives from the Centers for Disease Control, the Atlanta Regional Commission, Central Atlanta Progress, the Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, Georgia State University’s Institute of Public Health, and Georgia Tech’s School of City & Regional Planning, along with other dedicated supporters.

The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition’s mission is to make it safer and easier for people to ride bicycles. We believe this will help create a healthier, more sustainable Atlanta and allow people to enjoy a higher quality of life while improving public health, cleaning the air, reducing congestion, and building community.

We work to accomplish this by advocating for better facilities for bicycles, educating cyclists and drivers on sharing the road safely, offering programs to support those who would like to start biking, and enable those who already bike to ride more often. We promote the bicycle as both a viable transportation solution and a community-building form of recreation and exercise.

As the Atlanta region continues to grow, the challenges in the areas of transportation, air quality, public health, and mobility accumulate. If we are to maintain the quality of life instrumental in attracting growth to our city and region, we must address these issues.
