Bicycle / Active Transportation Group
We are a group of City of Boston employees working to build connections among colleagues via biking, rolling, walking, and transit.
Our group supports active modes of moving around and through Boston for city employees. Our mission as a City of Boston employee resource group is to lead by example. By doing this, we aim to:
- promote the joy of biking, walking, rolling, and other forms of active transportation
- support colleagues in taking active commute modes
- advocate to make active transportation (biking, walking, and rolling) more accessible to the City workforce

We’re a resource for any City employee interested in using an active mode of transportation for work or leisure. Our programs and activities also align with the overall mission of the City of Boston.
