Join DPW&T in attending the Prince George's County's Bike Summit this Saturday, May 18, 2024! We hope to see you there. #VisionZero #PrinceGeorgesCounty

It's officially #BikeToWorkWeek and I can't wait to see y'all on two wheels.🚴🏾

That said, I'm calling on drivers to be extra vigilant. Hundreds of crashes involve cyclists each year, so slow down around them and always give at least 3 feet of space when passing.

For WABA Advocacy in Prince George’s County, community engagement is job #1. Read on for updates and upcoming activities to support safe streets and a bicycle-friendly community.

We ⁦Coalition for Smarter Growth⁩ ⁦Maryland Sierra Club⁩ ⁦WABA⁩ ⁦SELC⁩ & partners today, called on ⁦TPB⁩ to fix their draft regional transportation plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. We won’t get there with 900 more lane miles of highways

More than 3,000 applications - almost all from lower income residents prioritized in this program - since opening just weeks ago. For just 250 available e-bike incentive vouchers. Great outreach and great demonstration they there is very high demand and interest! 🚲⚡️

Again?! This is terrible terrible news

Absolutely tragic. Killed by a driver. Thoughts are with the Howard University community.
