Past Successes

When a flawed proposal was made to squeeze a fifth, reversible lane onto Sepulveda Boulevard in the Sepulveda Pass, LACBC vociferously opposed it. Result: the reversible lanes were eliminated (except in the tunnel where they enhance safety) and bike lanes and wide shoulders were expanded. 

Through a Caltrans Community Based Transportation Planning Grant, LACBC, in conjunction with Metro, conducted an outreach effort and published a report on how to improve bike access on transit. Read the Outreach Plan here.

Caltrans widened Lincoln from Marina del Rey to Westchester. Because of our lobbying and numerous meetings with the agency, bike lanes were included in the segment from Jefferson Blvd. to LMU drive.

LACBC, through a Caltrans Environmental Justice grant, worked with Metro to study how to improve bike and pedestrian access to low-income transit hubs in South LA, Vernon, Compton, Van Nuys, and Newhall. Read the published plan here.

Through LACBC's advocacy, the City of Los Angeles repealed their mandatory bicycle licenses in 2009. These licenses, which were not readily available, discriminated against low-income cyclists and discourage bike riding by criminalizing not having a bicycle license.
