Speak up for better biking and walking
The key to a bike-friendly and walkable Pittsburgh lies in the City’s budget priorities. Think of the Capital Budget as the Mayor’s roadmap for building a better city, where funding reflects what matters most to them. As local advocates, we are rallying for investments in safer streets.
Let’s ensure that our voices are heard loud and clear! This year, the City will hold several in-person and virtual sessions to gather input on what should top the Mayor’s to-do list. These are usually roundtable chats with representatives from every City department including the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) that’s in charge of making our streets safe for everyone. These are a great opportunity to explain to the Mayor and the people who make our City run what matters most in our neighborhoods and how they should be investing in the City’s infrastructure and programming.
In essence, the more of us who show up for crucial safety upgrades—like traffic calming, complete streets, bike lanes, trails, steps, curb ramps, crosswalks, and bump outs—the better chance we have of seeing these life-saving projects funded. Let’s work together towards safer streets for all.
Share your budget priorities for the 2025 City of Pittsburgh Capital and Operating Budgets here by June 10th.
