Did You Know?

Decades of research shows that expanding roads doesn’t provide lasting congestion relief. More lanes means more traffic.

Want to learn how to become a better advocate for sustainable transportation?

Want to get more involved in making our region a better place to walk, roll, bike, and take transit?  

If you’re interested in learning about tangible ways to make a positive difference in your community and across our region, become a Street Team Advocate!

Join one of our two-hour trainings this winter to build your advocacy skills and get up to speed on our two most pressing campaigns – Transit That Works and Safe Streets for All.

  • Increase your knowledge about key transportation concepts;  
  • Learn how effective advocacy tools and strategies can shape our built environment;  
  • Get involved in our current advocacy campaigns and tap into ways to inspire others to join the movement for better walking, biking, and transit;   
  • Connect with others who are passionate about active transportation.  

We are offering virtual trainings on January 9th and February 7th and two in-person trainings in downtown Chicago on January 17th and 25th, 2024. More trainings will be made available based upon interest levels.
