Our Mission
Our mission is to establish Pittsburgh as a city that is increasingly safe, accessible, and friendly to bicycle transportation.
Our Vision
Pittsburgh is a bustling metropolis comprised of people of diverse backgrounds willing to participate in shaping all aspects of the region. Debates are healthy and commonplace. It is a city full of innovative ideas on all fronts, including: medicine, computing, robotics, ethics and the environment. The air is clean and green space is utilized to its fullest. There are no barriers separating Pittsburghers from the rivers, and they are able to easily access these amenities as well as other neighborhoods by way of safe, cheap, clean and quiet transportation alternatives, including: clean fuel buses, light rail, pedestrian walkways and bike lanes. People are not afraid to ride bicycles anywhere. In fact, it is the preferred method of travel when the weather accommodates.
