Tomorrow is #givingtuesday, and before it arrives, we want you to meet Thalia — someone whose life was transformed by our free cycling classes. She grew up without bike lanes or sidewalks. Today, she rides with confidence because of supporters like you. youtu.be/15_W0XDmmFM

Last week we witnessed something truly special. While teaching bike safety/skills classes to students in the after-school program at Thomasville rec center, we learned that one of our instructors, Jimmy Tyler, had been the 4th-grade teacher of Caleb, a rec center staffer assisting with the class. 🚲💜

Paul was hit by a driver while walking across the street. He broke 15 bones, but survived. His wife did not. Today, he’s turning grief into action and partnering with us on Atlanta Families for Safe Streets, so no one else has to face what he did.

Support Over Silence. Healing starts when we speak — and no one should have to navigate loss or trauma alone. Atlanta Families for Safe Streets is a space to be heard, supported, and connected with others who understand. Learn more: www.letspropelatl.org/atlantafss

Greenbriar Parkway is a Vision Zero Triple Threat—one of the most dangerous corridors in Atlanta for people walking, rolling, biking, or accessing transit. The community has said for years that Greenbriar Parkway feels unsafe. The data confirms it. The engineering confirms it.

Yesterday was World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, a global moment to honor people killed and injured in traffic crashes, and to stand with survivors and families forever changed by traffic violence.

We can turn “before” streets into “designed for people” streets. The South Boulevard Safe Street project just broke ground—a huge step toward a safer, more accessible connection between neighborhoods in southeast Atlanta. Your support helps us push for more projects just like this across the city.

No, we aren't judging political candidates by their singing voices. But what better way to blow off steam in a busy campaign season -- and get to know future leaders better -- than by some enthusiastic, off-key belting in a relaxed setting? That's the idea behind Karaoke With Candidates.

Our Streets, Our Future - the 2025 local candidate series, is now LIVE! Lineup tonight: City Council President and Atlanta City Council District 11.

Participants have now been confirmed for a three-part election series spotlighting the most competitive 2025 City Council races, taking place at Underground Atlanta.

ICYMI: *This evening* is our grassroots celebration of the new bike & scoot lane on Memorial Drive installed by the Georgia Department of Transportation. You bring the scissors, we'll bring the ribbon!

Propel ATL’s purpose is to transform streets so everyone can move safely, easily and sustainably across Atlanta. That’s why Propel is supporting @gacommute.bsky.social’s Biketober challenge—and you can, too!

In case you missed the radio broadcast, Atlanta @npr.org affiliate @wabe.org (90.1 FM) has posted its interview with Propel ATL's Jeremiah Jones about "Voice from the Bus: MARTA Riders Speak Out."

Propel ATL today is releasing “Voices from the Bus: MARTA Riders Speak Out,” a report detailing day-to-day rider experiences on MARTA’s buses and the implications of these findings for MARTA’s operational and strategic decision-making.

Our Streets, Our Future—the upcoming three-part candidate series on transportation and mobility—would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors.

Over the last few years, a heavily travelled stretch of Memorial Drive has been transformed—from a dangerous, four-lane car sewer which invited high speeds, to a calmer street, with space allocated to a protected, two-way, bike and scoot lane.

💛 We’re feeling so grateful for the volunteers, advocates, and partners who power this movement. From pitching in at the Blinkie Awards to cheering on neighbors at Atlanta Streets Alive, your energy and commitment are what make safer, more welcoming streets possible.

You have an opportunity to help envision a more complete Atlanta cycling network. Atlanta could be a great place for biking and using other small vehicles (like scooters) to get places. But the city lacks a connected and protected network of safe cycling facilities.

How we move determines how we live. Join Propel ATL and partners for Our Streets, Our Future: Candidate Series, a three-part election event spotlighting Atlanta’s most competitive 2025 City Council races.

It was our privilege to be present at yesterday's swearing-in ceremony for Carden Wyckoff, now serving as Atlanta City Council member for District 2, completing the term of Amir Farokhi over the next three months. (Farokhi is stepping away from his office to lead The Galloway School.)

Boulevard SE is more than just another busy road, slicing through a neighborhood. It’s part of the connective tissue of five neighborhoods, from Grant Park to Boulevard Heights to Chosewood Park, Benteen Park, and Custer-McDonough-Guice, providing access to parks, schools, and local businesses.

In April, Cooper Schoenke was killed on Moreland Ave. by a driver fleeing a Georgia State Patrol officer in a high-speed chase. A week earlier, Richard Wells, Jr. was killed by a driver fleeing a chase instigated by Atlanta Police. Both these deaths could have been prevented by different policies.

How we move determines how we live. A coalition of Atlanta organizations — including Propel ATL, Advance Atlanta, @newdisabledsouth.org, Partnership for Southern Equity, and Red Bike & Green — is inviting Atlanta residents to a three-part election series...

Proud to be honored! Thanks to our donors, advocates, and volunteers, who power (and empower) our work.

Researchers at Georgia Tech need your help to better understand how people experience extreme heat, especially in the process of getting around the city. The goal is to develop data-driven tools to power adaptation for communities.

In the third year of our Get There by Bike series with the Virginia Highland Civic Association, Propel ATL provided a safe, efficient route for incoming sixth graders taking the big step up to Howard Middle School.

Ten people died on Atlanta roads in the first quarter of 2025. Propel ATL and the Safe Streets Coalition got the City of Atlanta to officially commit to Vision Zero—setting the goal of eliminating these preventable deaths—in 2020.

Knowing how to ride a bike is of little use if you don’t have one of your own to ride. Fortunately, participants in our Shifting Gears cycling education program didn’t have to save their pennies, or do without the two-wheeled transportation they had just learned to ride safely.
