Safer biking doesn’t just happen, it’s the result of ongoing advocacy, relationship-building, and showing up when and where decisions are made. Ride Illinois has been working alongside lawmakers, partners, and our community to push for legislation and policies that protect people who ride bicycles in communities of all sizes across Illinois.
Our Legislative Scorecard offers a summary of the 2025 spring legislative session and recaps some of the most important bike-related legislation from 2021 to 2024. The Scorecard provides a list of relevant bills, concise summaries, and a clear record of how each state legislator voted.
Ride Illinois developed this resources to help make sense of the behind-the-scenes efforts that impact on bicycling in the state. Every policy win, and shortfall, matters.
We hope this Scorecard not only informs, but inspires more Illinois residents to get involved with and to support Ride Illinois. Knowing how legislators vote on relevant bills is a key step toward holding them accountable and building a more bike-friendly Illinois.
Want to know your legislators’ stance and support of bike-related legislation? Ride Illinois developed two interactive maps that indicate the level of support in each district during the most recent session.
The maps make it easy to determine who’s championing safer streets, better infrastructure, and policies that protect bicyclists…and where there’s room for growth.
