Final Mile
Local coalitions build support to accelerate the installation of complete mobility networks in select U.S. cities.
The Final Mile strengthens local partnerships collectively working to accelerate the installation of complete mobility networks in select U.S. cities. By combining proven advocacy strategies with public communication tools, this effort builds broad support for new, cost-effective mobility networks generating an important mix of benefits including increased bike riding and a reduction in single-occupancy motorized vehicle trips.
Our Strategy
Create diverse coalitions of community partners to support complete mobility networks
Building a network of protected bike lanes requires the support of people who only occasionally bike or never bike at all. Community engagement strategies reach deep into underrepresented neighborhoods to more fully reflect community needs in the planning and implementation of each new project.

Utilizing data-driven audience research and creative branding strategies, the Final Mile uses paid media and other communications strategies to demonstrate how bike infrastructure can help everyone accomplish a wide range of personal, social, and economic goals.
