UPDATE: We got the veto on 11/17/22. Thank you, Governor Wolf, and to all who signed the petition.

Governor Wolf needs to hear from you today

The Pennsylvania General Assembly sent to Governor Wolf the amended Parking Protected Bike Lane bill for his signature (HB140).

This bill, which was originally championed by the Bicycle Coalition, Bike Pittsburgh and over 30 organizations around the State, was amended this past June by Senator Wayne Langerholc (R-Johnstown).

The bill was sabotaged with a poison pill amendment that has nothing to do with bike lanes, but everything about politics. In fact, the bill could threaten and undercut bike lanes, especially in Philly.

The amended version of HB140 politicizes a technical state parking rule with a fundamental political disagreement about municipal control which seeks to punish cities like Pittsburgh for banning traffic stops for minor violations, and the prosecutorial approach of Philadelphia’s District Attorney, Larry Krasner.

We have started a petition to ask Governor Wolf to veto HB140.

Please sign the petition to make it clear to Governor Wolf that politics have no place hindering traffic safety.
