Events
Transportation Alternatives produces a number of bike tours throughout the year, including the Tour de Brooklyn, the Tour de Queens, the NYC Century Bike Tour, the Tour de Staten Island and the Tour de Bronx (along with the Bronx Borough President's Office). In addition to fundraising, the purpose of these tours is to introduce New Yorkers to bicycling around the city and to give the confidence and inspiration to take up biking as a regular activity.
T.A. also puts on a number of other events, including benefits, parties, lectures and other events.
