PAC Kick-off

Join us for the official launch of Bike Walk and Bus PAC, a Political Action Committee dedicated to supporting local D.C. candidates in the 2026 election who champion sustainable transportation solutions. We believe that the future of our communities depends on environmentally-friendly, accessible, and efficient transportation options, and it's time to elect leaders who share that vision.

While we applaud some efforts to expand D.C.’s multimodal infrastructure, we are deeply concerned by the slow pace of implementation. From delayed bus priority corridors to incomplete bike lane networks, the city continues to fall short of what is needed. Our lives—and the health of our environment—are at stake. Without significantly increased resources and a stronger political commitment, D.C. will not meet the urgent demand for safer streets and more sustainable transportation options.

This event will be a gathering of like-minded individuals, advocates, and local leaders who are passionate about building a sustainable future through smarter transportation policies. Whether you’re an advocate for public transit, biking infrastructure, electric vehicles, or reducing transportation-related carbon emissions, this is your chance to get involved and make your voice heard.

What to Expect:

• Speakers from prominent advocates for sustainable transportation

• Networking Opportunities with fellow supporters and activists

• Insights into Our Mission and Goals for the PAC’s impact in future elections

• Actionable Steps on how you can support candidates and initiatives promoting green transportation

• Refreshments and lively conversation with people who are committed to creating a cleaner, more sustainable transportation system for all.

Together, we can build momentum and elect leaders who will prioritize the future of our planet and the well-being of our communities. Your participation will make a difference!

We hope to see you there and look forward to working together toward a more sustainable, connected future!
