We value your input!
Hello Bike Pittsburgh members,
We are at an exciting time in the organization, with a number of successes under our belt and lots of possibilities for the future. As such, the board and staff feel it is a good time to step back and take a considered approach to our future. We are undertaking a Strategic Planning process to set Bike Pittsburgh's goals and activities for the next few years. But before we get started, we want to hear from our members: What are your priorities? What parts of the organization's work to date you value most? What constructive criticisms do you have? And what your ideas are for Bike Pittsburgh's future? ***Look below for resources on what other bike advocacy organizations, like Bike Pittsburgh, are working on across the country.***
We are holding a gathering for members, staff, and board to discuss these important questions:
Wednesday October 24th
7 to 9 PM
Pittsburgh Filmmakers' Melwood Screening Room
* The screening room is located at 477 Melwood Ave. in North Oakland. For directions, click here.

Please come out to share your ideas if you can! Please RSVP to jessica@bike-pgh.org so we have a rough idea of how many folks to expect.
If you can't make it, you can also email or mail comments to us. Just put "strategic planning" in the subject line, and write to:
