The Active Transportation Alliance is a non-profit organization founded in 1985 with the aim of advocating for walking, bicycling, and public transit to create healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities in Chicagoland. Initially established as the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation, the organization focused on securing significant victories for bicycling. In November 2008, it expanded its mission to include pedestrian and transit advocacy and subsequently rebranded as the Active Transportation Alliance. Today, it is recognized as North America’s largest bicycling and pedestrian advocacy organization.
Although the last investment and investors are currently undisclosed, the Active Transportation Alliance operates within the healthcare industry and is headquartered in the United States. The organization is propelled by a 20-Year Vision to create a region with a 50 percent reduction in all crashes and where 50 percent of the population walks, bikes, and takes mass transit.
