We accelerate mobility projects to help people move about their communities more safely, efficiently, and equitably.

For communities that move you.

At City Thread, it’s not just about how people move around their city. We know the real driving force is the residents who live in it, work in it, love it.

The core of what we do is build community. Learning, listening, activating. Strengthening coalitions of diverse city and community groups that are ready to tackle their streets, trails, greenways, park systems and more, so they work better for everyone.

Our team’s expertise, along with our proven roadmap, the Accelerated Mobility Playbook, equips City Thread to address your city’s mobility challenges faster and smarter. Where will we go together?

Testimonials

Our partners mean the world to us.

  • City Thread's messaging framework and guidance on focus groups and polling methodology was instrumental in ensuring that the City and Bike Cleveland had the data to understand what level of support residents had for mobility infrastructure and what messages would strengthen that support.

  • From nitty gritty everyday problem-solving to high-level, long term strategy, City Thread staff are invaluable as coaches and partners. Their breadth and depth of experience helped me make my way through the highs and lows of advocacy, ultimately helping accomplish an unprecedented amount of urban trail network implementation in Providence.

  • City Thread’s approach to equitable advocacy is commendable. They’re definitely thought leaders in building mobility infrastructures that support all the residents within a community and in creating meaningful change in cities throughout the U.S. It’s an honor to partner with them.
