Bike Action Team
ACCT's Bike Action Team is a network of citizens who are committed to making the greater Charlottesville area truly bike-friendly through a variety of bicycle-oriented projects and programs.  In 2006–2007, the team voted on and presented the top-five priority bicycle projects to City Council.  Now, ACCT and the Bike Action team are committed to help turn these plans into reality.

Safe Routes to School
Safe Routes to School is a national program designed to improve the health of kids and their communities by making walking and bicycling to school safer, easier, and more enjoyable.  ACCT's award-winning local programs provide students with pedestrian and bicycle safety lessons and facilitate walk-to-school events at City and County elementary schools.  ACCT is a national leader in promoting Safe Routes to Schools.  Read more here.
Regional Mobility Map
ACCT's Regional Mobility Map is a great tool to help you navigate the transportation choices available in Charlottesville.  The map displays hiking and multi-use trails, dedicated bicycle lanes as well as preferred bicycle routes, and both University and Charlottesville Transit Service bus lines and more. The map is free and distributed at locations throughout town. Continue reading to find a sponsoring location near you.
Arts for Bike Paths
Arts4BikePaths is an alliance of environmentalists, bicyclists and artists whose mission is to raise money for multi-use trail and infrastructure projects in the greater Charlottesville area through art shows and other events. The money raised helps match and secure federal funds made available for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements. Learn more about the program and how to get involved here.
  Active Living in Charlottesville
The Active Living Partnership is a broad collaboration of several health and recreational agencies working with ACCT to enable and encourage regular physical activity in our everyday lives.  We recognize first the crucial relationship among physical activity, health, and community design, and we seek to identify and implement the policy and physical changes that could help make Active Living in Charlottesville a reality for everyone.  Details . . .
  West Main Street Streetcar Project
ACCT spearheaded a campaign to implement streetcar service along West Main Street.  Streetcars would offer rapid transit along dedicated lanes, spur economic growth, encourage pedestrian-friendly environments, and relieve traffic congestion more than other public transit options.  ACCT led the project through its preliminary planning stages; the project is now led by our partners, Friends of West Main Street.  Find out more about the project here.
West Main Street Streetcar Project
ACCT's newest program is an innovative effort to reach out directly to residents of Charlottesville and to encourage them to make more neighborhood trips by alternative modes, especially by bicycle. It is a new approach to find potential cyclists in the community and help them realize the freedom and other benefits of traveling by bike.
