Who we are
The newly merged Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition+The Coalition for Sustainable Transportation's (SBBIKE+COAST) mission is to promote walking, bicycling and public transit county-wide to create healthy, sustainable, and equitable communities.
We envision Santa Barbara County as a great place for everyday, year-round bicycling — for transportation and recreation — that is safe and accessible for everyone. We will work toward building healthy and vibrant communities with clean air and low-stress, safe streets.
