2025 Priorities

1) Vision Zero

We advocate to make every Seattle street safe to walk, roll, and bike so that everyone can get home safely. This work includes advocating to fix the city’s most dangerous streets including:

MLK Jr. Way S (led by MLK transportation justice workgroup)
Rainier Ave S
Aurora Ave N (led by the Aurora Reimagined Coalition).

2) Ungap the Map

We advocate to connect every neighborhood with a safe bike route. We also celebrate as long-awaited bike projects are completed, and story tell about the community advocacy behind each connection. Key corridors of advocacy focus include:

Beacon Ave S along its southern sections (led by Beacon Hill Safe Streets)
Sylvan Way SW & Fauntleroy Way SW (led by West Seattle Bike Connections),
Alaskan Way waterfront gap
Eastlake Ave
Ballard Bridge (led by Ballard-Fremont Greenways)

3) Mobility Justice

We provide ongoing support and fiscal sponsorship to a now independent Whose Streets? Our Streets! (WSOS), a Black, Indigenous, and People of Color workgroup advancing mobility justice for communities of color in Seattle.

WSOS helps Seattle’s BIPOC communities learn skills, create relationships, obtain education, and build community power through workshops, listening sessions, community events, and drawing connections between transportation, safety, displacement, and community.

Additional activities to support this priority in 2025 include:

Dedicate significant staff time to supporting local organizing happening in historically underinvested communities to bring mobility justice so that everyone feels safe and welcome traveling on Seattle’s streets.
Bring in people who have been historically excluded from transportation advocacy. This work includes the MLK and Rainier Ave Transportation Justice workgroups: Black-led, intergenerational teams doing community-based, anti-racist organizing along MLK (started in 2024) and Rainier Ave (starting in 2025).

4) Places for People

We advocate for streets that reflect community needs and priorities not just for mobility but also as places to gather, play, build community, support small businesses, and enhance the quality of our lives.

Activities to support this priority in 2025 include:

Supporting local efforts around the city to pedestrianize streets such as Pike Place Market For People and Ballard Avenue, Crockett Plaza
Updating the Seattle’s street design guide — Streets Illustrated
Supporting the standing up of the PSPS team

5) 15-Minute City

We believe everyone deserves to be able to afford to live in a Seattle neighborhood where they can walk to their daily necessities.
