About Active Transportation Alliance
Based in Chicago, the Active Transportation Alliance is a non-profit advocacy organization that works to improve conditions for bicycling, walking and transit and engage people in healthy and active ways to get around.
With support from our thousands of members, hundreds of volunteers and a wide spectrum of community partners, our dedicated team has been working for several decades to create more opportunities for people to travel safely, actively and enjoyably.
Mission & Vision
The mission of Active Transportation Alliance is to advocate for walking, bicycling, and public transit to create healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities.
We envision a Chicagoland that is a fun and healthy place to live, work, and play.
This Chicagoland is home to a multitude of transportation options that enable all residents to easily and safely reach any destination. Our 20-year Vision outlines our strategies, outcomes, and benchmarks. We envision the region with half as many crashes and where half of all trips are made by walking, biking, and transit.
This is how we reach those goals
Build a movement around active transportation
- We build a movement by growing our loyal membership base, engaging generous donors and tireless volunteers.
- We host fun events, like Fifth Third Bike the Drive and other rides that celebrate active transportation.
- We work with you to make your community a better place to live and play.
- We work in Springfield and D.C. to build support around legislation that prioritizes and protects bicyclists, pedestrians and transit riders.
Increase safety and encourage physical activity
- We make it easier for people to be active with programs like Safe Routes to School and through education programs.
- We promote physical activity in safe spaces where people are prioritized. Open Streets and neighborhood bike rides get people moving right in their front yards.
Create a world-class transportation network
- If you build it, they will come. We are busy building. Active Trans staff is routinely hired by cities, large and small, to develop bike and pedestrian plans according to their residents’ needs and desires.
- We advocate for more trails, for more reliable transit service and better sidewalks.
