Access to affordable places to live and safe, reliable ways to get around are two crucial building blocks for thriving communities. Yet, too often, many Atlanta residents lack one or both of these basics. That’s why, on Tuesday, March 19, we’re teaming up with Abundant Housing Atlanta to host a happy hour to connect people who care about transportation and housing. Conversation Starters Read more

This Saturday, Atlanta United will kick off (and, of course, win) its home opener against the New England Revolution at Mercedes Benz Stadium, and Two Wheel Valet will be there to keep fans’ bikes safe for absolutely free. Since 2017, when the organization expanded to Atlanta from Washington, D.C., Two Wheel Valet has hosted bike parking at events ranging from street festivals to ball games, and even, we’re told, two weddings last year. (At one, revelers took a celebratory spin down the BeltLine).   We caught up with Matalina Jordan, the owner of Two Wheel Valet’s Atlanta operation, to talk about why she loves her job and the hope her organization inspires for the future of sustainable transportation in Atlanta and around the country.

This Wednesday, February 14, the Atlanta City Council will vote on whether to pass legislation to prohibit drivers from turning right on red in three neighborhoods: Downtown, Midtown, and Castleberry Hill.   This legislation, if passed, will save lives. It’s a clear win for making streets safer for people getting around in ways other than cars, and the right response to our city’s unnecessary and growing epidemic of vehicle injuries and fatalities. Here’s why. Read more

Transit Equity Day is this Monday, February 5! Established by the Labor Network for Sustainability, this event is celebrated annually on the birthday of Rosa Parks, a key figure in sparking the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955. Parks’ refusal to give up her seat, alongside the collective resistance of many Montgomery residents, led to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring segregated buses unconstitutional. This victory was a crucial step forward for Black and brown communities, who had been fighting, not just for seats on the bus, but for dignity and equality. This year, it’s also an opportunity to raise your voice in support of a bill to strengthen transit around the country. Read more

In our ongoing commitment to improving walkability in Atlanta, we joined the West End Neighborhood Development (WEND) Transportation Committee in November for a neighborhood walk audit. A walk audit is when community members get together to document what makes their streets comfortable for getting around by foot, wheelchair, or bike – and what isn’t working so well. Our focused exploration along Lee Street and around the West End MARTA Station provided a clear picture of the neighborhood's current state of walkability and rideability, and its potential for transformation.

Oh, the weather outside was – lovely! Mild temperatures set the perfect scene for strolling, rolling, and biking down Peachtree Street during the final Atlanta Streets Alive of 2023, and with about three miles of our city’s signature street open to people, folks danced, face-painted, and connected. Free Bikes 4 Kidz Atlanta helped families and kids find the perfect rides on two wheels – and helmets from Lime, too.

Us, too, guys. Onto the photos and videos.   Read more
