Our Advocacy
Collaborating to create safe streets and roads
Piscitello Law actively works with leading transportation advocates and organizations to ensure that our local and state streets and roads are safe for cyclists and pedestrians. Our car-centric streets/roads contribute to the alarming rate of traffic- related injuries and deaths. We believe that there are numerous, evidence-based interventions that should be implemented in various areas of high injury throughout both states. We are committed to raising awareness and education and have presented Bike Law talks for nearly a decade, reaching bike shops, orgs, universities and teams.
Piscitello Law is an active member of the cycling and tri-athlete community, and we are pleased to sponsor numerous Rides, Races, Events and Teams.
