about us
ETA is a resident-led advocacy group working for a safer and better connected Evanston by championing pedestrian-oriented streets, bike infrastructure for all ages and abilities, and high-quality public transit.
We influence local transportation-related issues, advocate to stakeholders and elected officials, build community through bike rides and other events, and champion safer streets and better mobility options in local elections.
Our work is grounded in a commitment to accessibility, equity, inclusive community engagement, sustainability, and mobility justice.
Right now: Evanston's new Bike Plan
This fall, Evanston will advance its first Bike Plan update in more than a decade. Today's bike network is a patchwork of disconnected routes and mostly painted lanes which offer little protection to riders. The new plan is a generational opportunity to change this: a safe, connected, citywide network for all ages and abilities.
Previous proposals have been delayed, watered down, or never built. Our city leaders need to support this new plan, and make its implementation a priority. To achieve this, we need an organized coalition of supporters speaking up for safer streets. That's where you come in. Sign up below to get advocacy alerts and the latest updates from ETA on how you can help support the plan as it moves forward.
