With approved designs and funding in place, yet no sign of action, we say: a safer Peachtree Street should not be this difficult — nor this delayed. With lives lost at this very spot, additional delay will put more people at risk for injury and death.

Peachtree Street is Atlanta’s most iconic corridor. It’s also one of the hardest – and deadliest – places to cross on foot.

Please join us via petition now, and — if possible — in person next week to hold the City accountable.

Atlanta’s e-bike rebate is coming back! 🚲

Atlanta City Council has approved a resolution, championed by Councilmember Matt Westmoreland, to renew the city’s wildly successful e-bike rebate program. $1 million will again go to the Atlanta Regional Commission and Propel ATL to run the program.

How well do Atlanta's sidewalks work for people with disabilities? How can we make them work better?

If these issues affects you for others you know, the City of Atlanta’s Department of Transportation (@atldot) needs to hear your voice.

Neighbors showed up and showed out in Oakland City.💛

Over the weekend, residents, volunteers, and partners turned Merrill Ave. into a hands-on opportunity for safer streets—installing a walk lane to better protect people on this frequently used neighborhood street.

The prior round of the City of Atlanta e-bike rebate program met all of its goals and then some, with recipients riding more and driving less. Roughly 82 percent of recipients were income qualified, exceeding the goal of 75 percent. (Atlanta Regional Commission, Feb. 2025)

For Atlanta’s Refugee Women's Network, cycling classes offered by Propel ATL delivered more than just a good time. Since most of the participants do not own cars, they were a lifeline to independence and self-sufficiency.

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?
