Metro Bicycle Coalition Of New Orleans

ADVOCACY - Bike Easy builds public support through grassroots organizing and community dialogue to ensure that elected officials and decision-makers prioritize safe and accessible bicycling. We push for streets built to share by being a political voice for people who bike, cultivating and supporting champions of better bicycling, and continually listening to the communitys needs in order to amplify them. Our advocacy interfaces with other important issues like walking safety, transit access, health equity affordable housing, green infrastructure, economic developmentfor all, and more. Efforts include working for Complete Streets policies, regional bikeway network planning and implementation,and better bikeways being built, i.e. protected bike lanes. We also conduct advocacy leadership development programs, enable and encourage citizen advocacy in support of better biking and walking, and represent the bicycling community in politics and policy discussions.
