BikeDFW is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate, support and promote the safe use of bicycles as an affordable, viable and sustainable means of active transportation and personal enjoyment, within the Dallas - Fort Worth community.
Your Voice Matters: Show Up for Transit this Week
This week, the Plano, Highland Park, Farmers Branch and Irving City Councils are discussing whether to withdraw from Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) — a decision that could reshape how North Texans move, connect, and thrive.
As cyclists and advocates for safe, multimodal transportation, we know bikes and transit go hand-in-hand. They make our region more accessible, equitable, and sustainable for everyone.
Join us in showing up, speaking up, and standing together for connected mobility.
🗓️ Highland Park — Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 8:00 AM
🗓️ Farmers Branch — Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 PM
🗓️ Plano — Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 5 PM
🗓️ Irving — Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7 PM
Let’s remind our city leaders that mobility is community.
