The Bicycle Transportation Alliance of Dane County

About the BTA

The Bicycle Transportation Alliance of Dane Country is an advocacy group for bicycle commuters and recreational bicyclists. Historically, it is an outgrowth of the New Transportation Alliance of Dane County. We publish an excellent occasional newsletter called Spoke 'n Word, have meetings (often with speakers) from time to time, and so forth. This Bicycling Community Page is itself a project of the BTA.


Our Mission

The Bicycle Transportation Alliance of Dane County advocates the use of bicycles as a sustainable mode of transportation and recreation. We work for recognition and support of bicyclists and bicycle issues such as bicycle safety, inclusion of bicycle routes in transportation and land use planning, and increased access to existing commercial and residential districts. We pursue our goals through community education, legislative action, and working with like-minded groups.
