Vision

We envision a Pennsylvania where residents do not need to drive in order to thrive. People should not be dependent on a motor vehicle to get to where they need to go, and have multiple safe, accessible and convenient transportation options available to them. In keeping with this, trails, bike lanes, and sidewalks must be connected to each other and to transit in a convenient, safe and intuitive way so that Pennsylvanian’s of all ages and abilities can independently get to their everyday destinations by walking, biking, or using a wheelchair or other micro-mobility device. Some of those trips will be accomplished entirely through on/along-road active mobility; others will connect to trails or transit to reach their destinations.

CAMP coordinates efforts across the state and acts as a rallying voice to improve walking, biking, accessibility, and access to transit at a state level.

Legislative Policy and Lobbying Actions

CAMP actively pushes for and support legislation that will help Pennsylvania be a leader in active mobility. CAMP also works to defeat legislation that goes against our mission and purpose.

PennDOT Policy and Actions

CAMP works with, advises and advocates directly to PennDOT for our policy priorities, providing input beyond the constrained, invited topics presented through Statewide Pedalcycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PPAC).

Executive Policy and Actions

CAMP works with, advises and advocates directly to the Governor of Pennsylvania.
