The Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP) is a community of practitioners working to create more walkable, rollable, and bikeable places. We foster peer knowledge sharing, advance technical expertise, and support the professional development of our members who work in government, consulting firms, non-profit organizations and education in the fields of transportation planning, engineering, urban design, planning, public health, and active living.

APBP has engaged in intentional work to create an organization dedicated to the inclusion of all people and in particular those communities who have been historically excluded. We have worked to create and implement new policies and strategies that are guided by and for people from these communities. Through this process, APBP has decided to offer a new discount of 50% for those people who identify as Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) or as a person with a disability. It is APBP’s hope that this discount contributes to peer exchange that advances an improved and inclusive profession. A discount code will be generated for eligible members to use when completing payment.

Benefits of Membership

  • Access to an on-call, vibrant network of engaged, passionate practitioners from across North America who care about increasing accessibility, availability and equity within active transportation.


  • Guidance and support from policy statements on topics relevant to your work which lends an authoritative voice from the professional association for practitioners 

  • collective voice on governmental issues that affect biking and walking 

  • A front row seat to the dissection of technical issues to help you work smarter, not harder 

  • Opportunities for professional development (like APBP Webinars at a discounted rate!) that share actual projects, working examples, and lessons learned to increase your knowledge and hone your skills 

  • Association with colleagues who recognize that the built environment has been designed in ways that both reflect and signal racism and are taking action to fight racism and center equity in our work 

  • APBP members have the opportunity to serve on committees to connect with colleagues, provide leadership development, and advance the association.

  • Get connected with APBP members local to your city, state or region! APBP members can participate in APBP Chapters.

With advocates and professionals representing so many unique viewpoints, getting involved with the association has given me exposure to different ways of thinking, working and handling complex issues. From public engagement and advocacy to policy planning and detailed design – there’s a wealth of industry knowledge just waiting to be tapped into. I have found this to be an excellent opportunity to contribute to the profession while also expanding my professional network."

"I've been an APBP member for more than 15 years, and every year when the time comes to renew my professional memberships, APBP is always at the top of the list for one reason: INSPIRATION! Whether I'm tuning into a monthly webinar, scrolling through recent discussions on the APBP Online Community, or sitting in on one of our Missouri-Kansas Chapter meetings, I'm always finding inspiration from APBP members, the exciting projects they’re working on, and the wealth of technical resources shared through this great community of professionals."

"What I appreciate most about being an APBP member is that it gives me access to people who are doing this work at all different scales — big cities, small towns, state DOTs — and are willing to share what’s worked (and what hasn’t). It’s been a great place to gut-check ideas, stay on top of guidance, and hear how others are navigating the same challenges I’m facing."
