At our community events we continue to ask folks what does the word livable mean to them. Overwhelmingly, folks have defined that livable means that their streets are – safe, convenient, accessible, and inclusive.

You all have supported us through coming to community events and writing postcards to your city councilor – continue to show your support for Livable Street by requesting one of these fly signs today with the link in the bio! 💻

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy Columbia's trails, parks, and outdoors — regardless of age or ability 👩‍🦽

We use our specially adapted tandem wheelchair bike to provide bike rides to older adults, people with disabilities, and anyone who is not able to ride a bike independently.

Reach out to our Community Engagement Coordinator, Gabi Jacobs, to schedule a ride or become a volunteer!
