Ride Illinois | Advocacy

Advocacy is central to Ride Illinois’ mission to improve bicycling legislation across the state. Through policy engagement, education, and collaboration with partners and decision-makers, we work to support laws, practices, and investments that make bicycling safer and more accessible for people of all ages and abilities.

Our advocacy efforts focus on monitoring and shaping policies that affect bicycling at the local, state, and federal levels, while providing clear, reliable information to the public. By tracking legislative activity, promoting public safety, and documenting long-term progress, Ride Illinois helps ensure that bicycling remains a visible and supported part of Illinois’ transportation system.
