Local Motion works year-round to create equitable transportation options in Columbia by advocating for smarter infrastructure investments and a stronger public transit system. Our city has great potential, but many of us still face significant transportation barriers, including cracked sidewalks, unprotected bike lanes, hazardous street crossings, and long waits for buses.

Year-end donations like yours provide indispensable financial support that allows our members, volunteers, and staff to continue the fight for transportation equity.

Owning and operating a newer personal vehicle is getting more expensive 📈 each year. In 2024 the cost was quoted at $12,297 or $1,024.71 monthly. That’s a lot of money! If you had safe and convenient multimodal transportation options, how would that change how you get around and save money?

A pedestrian🚶🏽 needs more than just complian

A pedestrian🚶🏽 needs more than just compliance.

Creating a space for people to walk where they feel confident, safe, and enjoy means that you must account for more than just compliance.

Building a flourishing area for pedestrians needs three key components to thrive: compliance, safety, and dignity.

Focusing on compliance, such as ADA requirements, can cause us to miss out on the other elements that make walking enjoyable, such as shade, convenience, and engagement.

Check out this stellar article originally posted on streets.mn further discussing what pedestrian dignity is and its importance with the link in the bio!
