Mission
Our mission is to transform Atlantas streets into safe, inclusive, and thriving spaces for people to ride, walk, and roll.
Program accomplishments
- For the year ended June 30, 2025, the Organization operated the following programs:i) Organized and led the Safe Streets & Transit Coalition, bringing together diverse organizations with an interest in safe and accessible mobility options. The Coalition advocated successfully to maintain access to the Five Points MARTA station for pedestrians, people with disabilities, and those riding the bus during a major renovation project. The Coalition also advocated for more frequent and reliable bus service.(ii) Bike Safety EducationThe bicycle safety education program aims to reduce bicycle crashesespecially those causing injury or death in metro Atlanta, primarily Fulton and DeKalb counties. This is accomplished by providing safety training, information, and education through classes, rides, media campaigns, and educational campaigns and materials. The Organization served 1,385 people through bike classes and programs. (iii) E-Bike Program Outreach and Education The Organization coordinated with the Atlanta Regional Commission on program planning and implementation of the City of Atlanta e-bike rebate program. Propel ATL led outreach and education efforts to ensure that marginalized communities and residents unfamiliar with e-bikes learned about the rebate program and had the appropriate support to apply. Propel ATL also offered free e-bike safety classes for rebate recipients, to ensure they were prepared to bike safely and confidently.(iv) Walk ATLA community-based advocacy and safety training program that uses an interdisciplinary approach to advance safe, equitable, and accessible pedestrian spaces in neighborhoods throughout Atlanta. The organization provided resources and guidance for two neighborhoods to create pedestrian safety action plans including a tactical urbanism project the community could implement with the organizations support. The goal of Walk ATL is to increase the capacity of neighborhood residents and community members to advocate for safer streets and increased mobility. (v) Community Advocates NetworkThe Community Advocates Network (CAN) is a network of transportation and mobility advocates from neighborhoods in every City Council district. CAN creates space for advocates to share resources, connect with local leaders and officials, and build relationships with other advocates, including events like Transportation Roundtables. Partnering with residents, the Organization advocates for infrastructure improvements that result in safer streets and a more connected and protected network of bike and scoot lanes. (vi) Atlanta Streets AliveThe Organization revived Atlanta Streets Alive for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic as an official City of Atlanta initiative. Atlanta Streets Alive is an open-streets program that creates car-free spaces for people to experience how streets can be prioritized around sustainable, active transportation. Propel ATL provided outreach, community engagement, and communications for the initiative.(vii) Atlanta Families for Safe StreetsThe organization conducted planning work to restart a local chapter of Families for Safe Streets, part of a national movement of people who have been injured or lost loved ones in crashes and who advocate and use storytelling to seek policy and infrastructure changes resulting in safe streets.Expenses $413,103
