The Brooklyn Committee of Transportation Alternatives provides a way for T.A. members to get involved directly in grassroots activism. We're a dedicated group of advocates working to improve bicycling and pedestrian conditions in Brooklyn.

In the past, the Brooklyn Committee worked on Car-Free Prospect Park, Downtown Brooklyn Traffic Calming, Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge access, a pedestrian-safe Grand Army Plaza, metal bumps removed from the Williamsburg bike path, bicycle parking at the Bedford Avenue L stop and stopping illegal truck traffic around Cooper Park. Many of these initiatives have been accomplished.

After a four year long hiatus, the Brooklyn Committee is active again. Some of our current projects include:

• Bringing a protected bike lane to Brooklyn
• Additional parking swaps (in the vein of the Bedford Ave L stop swap)
• Congestion pricing advocacy
• Traffic calming studies
• Small scale Brooklyn bike tours
