Families are already riding safely on Memorial Drive’s new protected bike and scoot lane, and Propel ATL helped make it happen.

In October, Jessica and her kids cut the ribbon on this two-way lane. youtu.be/Ssf_hJMwJD8

Across five metro Atlanta counties, traffic violence took more lives than homicides—this stat, more than any other in Propel ATL’s “The Human Cost of Mobility: 2024,” caught the attention of local media outlets.

In 2022, voters put their support and taxes behind Moving Atlanta Forward. Now, three years later, how much forward momentum have we really seen on sidewalks, safer street crossings, protected bike and scooter lanes, trails, street repairs, recreation facilities, and public safety infrastructure?

What was already a huge problem -- rampant traffic deaths -- has gotten worse and stayed worse in metro Atlanta (like many other metro areas) since the pandemic.

Great analysis by @letspropelatl.bsky.social

Last week we witnessed something truly special. While teaching bike safety/skills classes to students in the after-school program at Thomasville rec center, we learned that one of our instructors, Jimmy Tyler, had been the 4th-grade teacher of Caleb, a rec center staffer assisting with the class. 🚲💜

Paul was hit by a driver while walking across the street. He broke 15 bones, but survived. His wife did not. Today, he’s turning grief into action and partnering with us on Atlanta Families for Safe Streets, so no one else has to face what he did.

Greenbriar Parkway is a Vision Zero Triple Threat—one of the most dangerous corridors in Atlanta for people walking, rolling, biking, or accessing transit. The community has said for years that Greenbriar Parkway feels unsafe. The data confirms it. The engineering confirms it.

Yesterday was World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, a global moment to honor people killed and injured in traffic crashes, and to stand with survivors and families forever changed by traffic violence.

We can turn “before” streets into “designed for people” streets.

The South Boulevard Safe Street project just broke ground—a huge step toward a safer, more accessible connection between neighborhoods in southeast Atlanta. Your support helps us push for more projects just like this across the city.
