August is National Wellness Month. During this time, we want to encourage and engage in activities that enhance physical, mental, and emotional wellness, and we hope building these habits will help you stay active the rest of the year.

Two major grant programs from Georgia DNR — the Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program (GOSP) and the Recreational Trails Program (RTP) — will open this fall.

The Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) is accepting grant applications now through August 29, 2025, for projects that improve safe and equitable access to and through federal lands. FLAP offers a 0% local match incentive to support transportation projects that improve access to federal lands, including trails, on-street bike/ped infrastructure, and transit systems. Eligible applicants include state, county, tribal, and city government agencies, and Go Georgia encourages communities with federal lands to consider FLAP funding for bike/walk/roll projects.

Safe Moves in Hot Weather: Summer Tips for Biking, Walking, and Rolling

May is National Bike Month, and biking is growing in popularity across Georgia. We all want to be the best state in the South for cycling, and that’s precisely why this month matters.

April 2nd marked National Walk Safely Day, and the entire month is dedicated to raising awareness about Distracted Driving. It’s a great reminder that safety should always come first, whether you're out for a walk in the fresh air or behind the wheel.

From greenways spanning hundreds of miles to local road diet projects that calm traffic and create space for vulnerable road users, momentum has been growing across Georgia for more livable, people-friendly communities. Despite this momentum, recent developments at the federal level are putting that progress at risk.

An introduction to micromobility and how to use it safely.

Gravel biking has become increasingly popular over the last few years, and for good reason! Gravel roads offer a biking experience that is typically quiet, closer to nature, and free from the stress of heavy car traffic, and they’re great places to ride in communities that don’t yet have dedicated bicycle infrastructure. Gravel can even be a viable commuting option in some places, and serve as a draw for outdoor recreation tourism. These are some of the many reasons why more and more bicyclists are opting off the beaten path, and why more communities should embrace gravel riding.

‍Go Georgia (formerly Georgia Bikes), the statewide nonprofit advancing safe, equitable, and sustainable transportation and recreation, is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the recipient of a grant by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) with funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The grant award, totaling $150,530.28, will fund Go Georgia’s statewide educational programs. 

We're excited to announce that Georgia Bikes has officially become Go Georgia! This change reflects our broadened mission to promote safety and accessibility for all Georgians—whether you bike, walk, or roll. Our expanded focus means we’re here to support communities across the state with resources for all forms of active transportation and recreation.
