“There is a sea change going on in the way that people look at transportation. Americans want travel choices; they want to be able to choose the best travel option for their lives. This is an exciting time for the public transportation industry as more and more Americans support it and want it.”

Michael Melaniphy, President and CEO
American Public Transportation Association

“Increasingly, U.S. cities want to make riding a bike a practical and comfortable way to get around for short trips. The growing popularity of urban living, the decline in driving by young people and a desire for more attractive public places are inspiring cash-strapped cities to focus on retrofitting existing streets to make them work better for all users.”

Martha Roskowski, Director
Green Lane Project

“We need to make biking part of our DNA. I’m trying to build a city for the people who will be running it 5, 10, 15 years from now. And in a region known to some for rigid thinking, the receptivity has been remarkable.”

Mayor A. C. Wharton Jr.,
Memphis, Tennessee

“Green lanes benefit everyone who uses city streets, not just people on bicycles. More people on bikes eases congestion. When people ride bikes, they are healthier, and they save money.”
