Since 1998, Walk Bike Nashville has advocated for a more walkable, bikeable, and livable city. We want our streets to provide all people the freedom, dignity, and choice to move through a comprehensive and safe network of sidewalks, bikeways, and multimodal infrastructure. We acknowledge the harm done by car-centric planning and believe transportation investments should remove barriers to mobility and prioritize the needs of the people who stand to gain the most from a human-centric city.

Values

Take care of each other: We’re all human. Prioritize the experiences, aspirations, and needs of people first.

Lead with joy and possibility: Positivity and solutions bring people in. Celebrate the joys of mobility, social connectivity, and progress — big and small.

We all deserve dignity: Mobility is a human right. Getting around should always be a dignifying experience for everyone, however you choose or need to move.

Trust is built: Integrity is not a given. Work to build trust through consistency, honesty, and thoughtful action.

Think outside of the box: Redefine what’s possible with imagination, curiosity, and creativity. When the status quo creates a barrier, challenge it.

Don’t give up: Be tenacious. Meet challenges with persistence and brave action. When something isn’t working, try another way.

Vision

We dream of a city where great streets and a strong culture of walking and biking cultivate a sense of joy, belonging, and freedom where all Nashvillians can thrive,

Mission

Our mission is to make Nashville more walkable, bikeable, and livable by activating our community, advocating for great streets, and demonstrating our vision through bold, visible action.
