As 2021 comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on this dynamic year. It brought big organizational changes, opportunities to finally gather in person, and policy wins on the city and state level. We relied on our strong community of supporters to advance these wins.

Everything we did was made possible by folks like you - who share our vision of a connected and equitable Baltimore and back it up with your words, your attendance at public meetings, and your financial support.

We’re sharing big successes this year. Together, we…

Installed traffic calming infrastructure, bike lanes, and pavement art at 33rd & Hillen by Lake Montebello with our partners Baltimore City Department of Transportation, Graham Projects, and Black People Ride Bikes
Pushed the Baltimore City Department of Transportation to jumpstart multiple grant-funded Complete Streets projects, including separated bike lanes for Central Avenue, Wolfe or Washington Street, and Eutaw Street, and a Rapid Enhancement Program that will quickly make connections between existing facilities across the city.
Advocated and fought for the bipartisan passage and veto override of the Transit Safety & Investment Act, securing $2 billion in state funding to address MTA maintenance needs and stabilize service.

We want to continue building on all of these wins. In 2022, we want to double down on our programming efforts and meet people where they’re at in Baltimore. We want to keep our elected officials and agency leadership accountable to our Complete Streets goals. We want to grow our organization and build capacity. But we need your help to make it possible.
