WABA’s Mission
The mission of the Washington Area Bicyclist Association is to create a healthy, more livable region by promoting bicycling for fun, fitness, and affordable transportation; advocating for better bicycling conditions and transportation choices for a healthier environment, and educating children, adults, and motorists about safe bicycling.
WABA's Goal
A fully integrated transportation system. One that links transit, trails, bicycling, and walking facilities to connect the places you live, work, and play. Make your community a place you can ride anywhere you want to go—safely.
"WABA is making a strong statement that bicyclists are an important component of transportation in the District, as they reduce congestion and contribute to the health of the city and all of its residents." - Former DC Mayor Anthony Williams
Current Priorities
- Protect funding for bicycle programs in Montgomery County
- Extend advocacy efforts in Fairfax County, Virginia and in Prince George's County, Maryland
- Continue to fight for the construction of the Metropolitan Branch Trail
- Protect the Custis Trail from the widening of I-66
- Ensure a bike-friendly transportation center in Silver Spring
- Double WABA’s safety program in DC and expand the program into Virginia
