Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA)'s Blurbs
About me: 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
