The Alliance for Biking & Walking, formerly known as Thunderhead Alliance, is the North American coalition of grassroots bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations. We unite advocacy leaders to help them become more effective by sharing best practices and innovations. We strengthen organizations through resource sharing and training opportunities. We help advocates create organizations in underserved communities. Alliance organizations are working together to transform communities into great places to bike and walk.
Alliance Releases “Bicycling and Walking in the United States.: 2010 Benchmarking Report”
The Alliance for Biking & Walking's recently released "Bicycling and Walking in the United States.: 2010 Benchmarking Report" packs nearly 200 pages full of data on bicycling and walking in the U.S. Besides ranking the 50 states and 51 largest U.S. cities on a number of benchmarks, the report shows that lack of investment in biking and walking could be contributing to higher traffic fatalities and chronic disease rates in the U.S.
