Why Support Vibrant Streets Duluth?

As Duluth's chapter of the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN), we're working to transform Duluth into a city where walking, biking, and public transit are practical choices in every season. Your support strengthens both our local advocacy in Duluth and BikeMN's statewide impact, advancing our shared vision of more vibrant, equitable, and sustainable communities.

Here's how your donation creates lasting change in Duluth:

People-Centric Progress

We believe Duluth thrives when we put people first. Your support helps us advocate for infrastructure and policies that make walking, biking, and transit safe, convenient, and dignified choices for everyone. By creating more people-friendly streets, we're building a more connected and vibrant community.

Climate Action & Sustainability

Transportation is Minnesota's leading source of greenhouse gas emissions. In Duluth, our unique geography and climate present both challenges and opportunities. Your support helps us advocate for sustainable transportation choices that reduce our environmental impact while celebrating our four-season city.

Neighborhood Vibrancy

Walkable, bikeable neighborhoods are more prosperous, equitable, and connected. Your donation helps us advocate for development patterns that create lively streets, support local businesses, and build community. When people can easily walk or bike to local destinations, our whole city benefits.

Safety Through Design

We believe everyone deserves to feel safe while moving through our city. Your support helps us advocate for street designs and policies that prioritize human life and health. We work with local government and stakeholders to implement proven safety measures that protect our most vulnerable road users.

Economic Resilience

Cities that prioritize walking, biking, and transit are more financially sustainable. Your donation helps us promote development patterns that generate lasting value for Duluth. By reducing our dependence on expensive car infrastructure, we can build a more resilient local economy.

Winter City Leadership

Duluth can be a national model for how winter cities embrace active transportation year-round. Your support helps us advocate for maintaining walking and biking infrastructure through all seasons, proving that cold climates and people-friendly streets can go hand in hand.

Equity & Accessibility

Everyone deserves access to safe, convenient transportation choices. Your donation helps us advocate for directing resources to historically underserved communities and ensuring our transportation system works for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

Your donation supports both local action in Duluth and statewide impact through BikeMN. Together, we're creating a more vibrant, equitable, and sustainable city for all Duluthians.
