As a member of the On-The-Move Coalition (OTM), Bikes Not Bombs is involved in pushing forward legislation that OTM has written around public transit. OTM is a coalition of community based organizations in greater Boston that came together in 2000 with the goal of an environmentally sustainable and socially just transportation system that is integral to the preservation and creation of livable communities.

BNB and OTM believe that public transit users should not be held responsible, through service cuts, an unaddressed maintenance backlog and a seemingly endless cycle of fare increases, for improvements that do not benefit them or increase the environmental health of those living in greater Boston. To this end, OTM and the the bill's sponsors, are trying to address the massive debt of the MBTA, $1.8 billion of which was unfairly placed on the T as a result of the Big Dig, by instituting a gas tax and designating the proceeds to address public transit needs.

OTM and the T Riders Union are planning two actions to urge the adoption of this bill, and we're hoping to enlist members of the BNB community in coming out and supporting them. On both Monday, March 9th and Wednesday April 1st at 3:30 p.m., we will be hosting two 'Save the T' bake sales to draw attention to the need for action at the statehouse on this issue. The first will be in front of the statehouse and the second will be in front of the Citizens Bank in Dudley Square. If you're interested in getting involved, please contact Jeremy at for more information.
