2. Who We Are
Vision: In New York State, bicyclists are safe, respected, and fully integrated into the transportation system.
Bicyclists, pedestrians and drivers safely co-exist on our roadways; bicycling infrastructure is accessible and
well-connected; and New York State is a leader in multi-modal transportation and bicycle tourism.
Mission: New York Bicycling Coalition advocates for pro-bicycle policies and funding at all levels of
government; educates New Yorkers about bicycle safety and the benefits of bicycling; provides technical
assistance and support to advocates and government entities; and promotes bicycle tourism across the
state.
Guiding Principle: NYBC serves the State of New York and its residents by providing a clear and consistent
voice for the interests of people who ride bikes and by promoting the safe use of the bicycle as an important
mode of transportation, sport, recreation, health, environmental protection, energy conservation, tourism
and economic development.
