Legalize parking protected bike lanes on state roads!

Legalizing parking protected bike lanes on state roads across Pennsylvania through HB 1283 is crucial for improving road safety for all users, promoting sustainable transportation options, and giving municipalities greater control over their street design. This evidence-based infrastructure has been proven to have minimal impact on traffic flow and parking availability while significantly enhancing cyclist and pedestrian protection. Over the past seven years since this bill was first introduced, hundreds of preventable traffic fatalities involving vulnerable road users have occurred in Philadelphia alone. It is unacceptable to continue delaying the implementation of this life-saving infrastructure. I urge you to prioritize the passage of HB 1283 to finally allow parking protected bike lanes and create a safer, more accessible transportation network that benefits all Pennsylvanians.
