Propel ATL

TransportationCamp ATL 2026 is officially in the books! During Atlanta Climate Week, we teamed up with the NRDC to bring community members and transportation folks together to swap ideas, talk e-bike access, and build momentum for getting promised safer-street projects built. 💬

Just weeks ago, we asked the City to make the Centennial Olympic Park Drive bike & roll lane permanent. On Tuesday night, we watched them remove it. Call the Mayor’s Office at 404-330-6100 and ask the City to restore the lane and make it permanent. 📞

We are growing our Marketing & Communications Committee and looking for people with marketing, communications, or digital content experience who want to put their skills toward a more connected, accessible Atlanta. Interested in getting involved? Email us at communications@letspropelatl.org!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our Let’s Roll ATL community feedback session! Couldn’t make it? It’s not too late to share your thoughts. We want to hear what’s working, what’s missing, and where Atlanta needs better bike & roll connections: www.letspropelatl.org/lets-roll-at...! 🔗

We want to build a city where walking feels safe, easy, and joyful. Happy World Pedestrian Day. 💛

30 neighbors and community members gathered to walk Glenwood Avenue. Participants shared what they experience navigating the corridor every day and together, we assessed the conditions of the street. Check out the full StoryMap to see the recommendations we are advocating for: lnkd.in/e7VxzzDP.

Biking, walking, and riding transit have always been chic in our book! 💫 But safe streets aren’t just “kinda chic.” They’re a basic necessity — and one we’ll keep advocating for until everyone can get around Atlanta safely, no matter how they choose to travel. 📣

A safer crossing on Peachtree Street was approved. Then the plans changed. Then the project stalled — all without public explanation, so we filed an open records request. Our blog breaks down what we learned, where things stand today, and what comes next: www.letspropelatl.org/missing-cros....

We were honored to join The Strong Towns Podcast to talk about one of Atlanta's most vibrant yet most dangerous corridors: Buford Highway. 🛣️ Listen to the episode, "This Atlanta Corridor Makes Walking Normal and Deadly" here: podcast.strongtowns.org/e/this-atlan.... 🎙️ Photo Credit: Cedric Angeles

Ahead of the World Cup, Atlanta showed what can be accomplished when transportation is prioritized. The need for safer streets and transit didn't begin with the World Cup, and it definitely shouldn't end with it. What would you like to see Atlanta keep investing in after the World Cup? 💬

Last month, we joined Mayor Andre Dickens and former Councilmember Carden Wyckoff for a Mobility Walk in the West End to discuss the everyday challenges facing people who walk, roll, bike, and ride transit in this area. Read our full reflection here: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/....
