Bicycle Transportation Alliance About the Bicycle Transportation Alliance The Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) is a non-profit membership organization working to promote bicycling and improve bicycling conditions in Oregon and SW Washington. Since 1990, the BTA has worked in partnership with citizens, businesses, community groups, government agencies and elected officials to create communities where people can meet their daily transportation needs on a bike.

We work to open minds and roads to bicycling. BTA History and Programs Since 1990, the Bicycle Transportation Alliance has grown from a group of activists sitting around a kitchen table to an organization with over 4500 members, a staff of nine, and hundreds of community volunteers. Our activities span a broad spectrum of advocacy and education. We make citizen voices heard on behalf of bicycling, and work to give cyclists the tools, confidence and knowledge they need to be safe and accepted on the road. Our advocacy successes include convincing TriMet to accommodate bikes on buses, prevailing in a lawsuit to uphold Oregon’s Bicycle Bill, protecting the Bicycle Bill from several legislative attacks, and ensuring that countless projects in the Portland Metro area have been built in a way that accommodates bicycles. We engage members directly in our advocacy work, empowering them to speak out on behalf of bicycling in their community. Our education programs are designed to teach safe cycling practices – and to create a strong sense of community identity among people who ride bikes and people who simply understand that a community where people can ride bikes is a safer, healthier, more vital place. The BTA’s work is powered by members and volunteers. Members provide steady financial support and act as the BTA's eyes and ears in the community, helping to monitor advocacy needs. Volunteers are involved in every aspect of the organization, from office help to event coordination to testifying at public hearings. The BTA also receives funding through individual gifts, corporate sponsorships, contract activities and government and foundation grants. HITS: 0 http://www.bta4bikes.org/ PR: 6

Bike to Work Spokane! The goal of Bike to Work Spokane! is to increase awareness and participation in bicycle commuting. Because this is the first year in a revitalization effort, the focus is on downtown Spokane as a commuter and customer destination. BTW Spokane is comprised of a bunch of bicyclists who generally would rather bike than drive for almost any reason, but to work in particular. When we're not cycling to work or home or on errands, we might be walking, riding road or mountain bikes, dressed in a full team kit or some baggy shorts, but what brings us together is our love of cycling and desire to share that with others who think it impractical as a means to get around. Please join us in our quest to make bicycle commuting a more attractive transportation alternative as a contribution to making Spokane a better place to live, work and play.
