Drivers, make room for cyclists! 🚴 It’s the law!

When you pass a bicycle, you must give them four feet of space and may cross the double yellow line to do so when safe.

Clean, safe and on-time public transit provides freedom and opportunity for Pennsylvanians.

It’s good for our communities and it’s good for our economy — $1 invested in public transit generates $5 in economic activity
 
So let’s invest and get it done Pennsylvania.

Motorcycles have the same rights and privileges as any vehicle on the roadway. 🚚🏍️

Allow a motorcyclist a full lane width as the motorcyclist needs the room to maneuver safely in all types of road conditions.

Today we remember Richard Bradley, a PennDOT employee who died in the line of duty in 2001. We pray this kind of heartbreak stays far removed from our PennDOT team. Please keep him in your thoughts and stay safe every workday.

Philadelphia's Chinatown neighborhood was separated by the construction of the Vine Street Expressway that began in the 1960s. We're helping reconnect the community by capping the highway with funds from President Biden's infrastructure package.

Safety in numbers! 🚲 🚲 🚲 🚲

Studies show that drivers are MORE careful when they see multiple cyclists on the road. If you can, ride in a group.
