Connected Car Workshop

Sunday, October 12th 3-5pm, Commissioners Lot

In case you missed it, Pennsylvania's law about mobile phone use while driving has changed. You can now be stopped for holding your phone while driving. This includes phone calls and using navigation. Even while stopped at a red light!

Apple Carplay and Android Auto can help you stay connected and follow PA's new hands-free law. Most cars on the road today have these useful tools.

Join the Mt. Lebanon Police Department and MoveLebo at the Connected Car Workshop for some quick how-to tips. There will be dedicated volunteers to help get your cars set up. Just bring your car, phone, and a cable to connect up. We'll have some extra on hand if needed.

Space is limited. Please RSVP here.

|Giant Map - Active Transportation Plan|

GIANT MAPPING PROJECT

This is an exciting opportunity to provide feedback on the unsafe walking conditions in our community! As part of the Active Transportation Plan, there is a giant mapping project happening. Keep your eyes open for pop-up events around the community. In the meantime, provide your feedback here. Your participation in this event is critical in helping to make our streets safer!

Micromobility

…for the win!! Check out this recent article from Mt. Lebanon Magazine. Move Lebo is referenced as a resource that residents are using as they navigate the world of micromobility, in particular our map of safe biking routes is gaining popularity!

Street traffic analysis PROGRAM

Traffic too fast on your street? Wondering what you can do? We’re launching a Street Traffic Analysis Program.

Thanks to the support of our members, we were able to purchase a Telraam traffic monitoring device that we affectionately refer to as, Francois. It’s discreet and user-friendly and we’re hoping it will empower residents to make changes to their streets.

Members can request to borrow the Telraam device to collect their own data to support traffic calming petitions.

Traffic too fast on your street? Interested in hosting Francois at your house? Contact us to learn more.

Pumpkin Patch Parade

Join Move Lebo and walk in the Pumpkin Patch Parade on Saturday, October 25th!

Costumes encouraged but not required! We’ll be handing out candy and spreading the love as we enjoy a car-free Washington Road. Bikes, onewheels, scooters, etc. bring them along! Lineup will start at 10:00 a.m. and take place in the Mt. Lebanon Cemetery, located at 509 Washington Road.

Week without Driving

Monday, September 29 – Sunday, October 5

The Week Without Driving was created so that those who have the option to drive can learn firsthand about the barriers and challenges that nondrivers face and work with nondrivers to create more accessible communities for all. Move Lebo is encouraging everyone to participate and experience what it’s like to navigate our community without the comfort of a car.

PARKING DAY recap

Move Lebo set up shop across from Lincoln Elementary School for Parking Day 2025. It was our first time participating in the global event. We had some positive discussions over coffee in the morning and took advantage of the great weather to do a little remote work. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it until the end of the school day because we were asked to leave by the parking authority. Regardless, it was fun to connect with our neighbors and advocate for safer, greener, and more equitable streets for people.

Vélo Couture Ride

We’ll leave you with these fun pics from our recent Velo Couture ride. Oui, oui, our Parisian inspired bike ride was a great success! We dressed our best and had a wonderful morning meandering some of the quiet streets of Mt. Lebanon.

Stay tuned - we have a couple of upcoming rides in the works. The Holiday Light Ride (a crowd favorite!) we’ll be happening in December - you won’t want to miss it.
