Welcome to Sustainable Streets
Sustainable Streets is a nonprofit organization that promotes active transportation, such as walking and bicycling, to help build equitable, healthy, and vibrant communities. All individuals deserve the opportunity to use active transportation in a safe and healthy environment, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, gender, age, sexual orientation, or ability.
Sustainable Streets seeks to make active transportation accessible to everyone through individual-level training, public education and advocacy of complete streets policies. Our long-term goal is for communities to adopt sustainable, active transportation practices that optimize their health and quality of life. We believe that communities must assure pedestrians and bicyclists at least as much safety and convenience on public rights of way as are currently provided to operators of motorized passenger vehicles.
Mission
Our mission is to make active transportation accessible through education and sustainable innovation.
Vision
Sustainable Streets envisions streetscapes and transportation systems that harmonize community, nature and the human spirit, to support equitable social interactions, environmentally-sensitive resource use, healthy physical activity and overall wellbeing.
