Exciting news! Last week, Governor Hochul announced her Executive Budget and it included significant provisions of the Stop Super Speeders Bill!

March 24-26 2026 - Washington, DC National Bike Summit

This is an absolutely essential year for advocacy, as Congress will be considering Surface Transportation reauthorization which will set the framework for transportation funding for at least five years. We need to protect the Transportation Alternatives Program to keep streets safe and accessible for everyone.

So, if you’ve ever considered participating in the League of American Bicyclist’s National Bike Summit, this is the year! NYBC leads the NY delegation to advocate with New York’s Senators and Representatives, and we'd love to see you there in person or virtually this year!

Join us for inspiring plenaries, hands-on workshops, and a powerful Lobby Day on Capitol Hill. New this year: Wednesday-only registration options for those focused on Lobby Day. Limited Scholarships Available apply before January 30th. Click here to register today!
