CAP is Downtown for You
CAP is downtown Birmingham’s Clean & Safe program, funded by downtown property owners.
CAP safety ambassadors want to make sure you feel at home in the Magic City. They patrol downtown on foot, Segways and bikes, their visibility and attention deterring bad behavior and activities. They look for opportunities to help people and tidy up as they’re out and about.
How can CAP help you? Call 205-251-0111 to request help within the Downtown BHM Business Improvement District.

Layers of good
Jacob Alan BellI love Birmingham because not only is it a great place to go see all these really cool events and people, but it has so much diversity of culture and things to see in general that there’s something new every single day.
So much to do
Jenny MellownI love Birmingham because it has a small town feel in the middle of a city. There is so much to do from local breweries to sporting events. There is always something going on and it is easy to find something to do!
Always something new
Amy MezzellThe variety of restaurants, hangouts, stores, venues, and places to explore is incredible for a city this size. You get all of the variety of a larger city with the pleasant atmosphere of a small town.
