Dawn is a pillar in the community as an advocate for people with disabilities. She wants to make sure that people with disabilities are able to get where they want to go safely and comfortably. We’re honored to work with her as a Local Motion member and now as a Neighborhood Leader.
Commuting by wheelchair is Dawn’s main form of transportation. While Dawn mainly uses her wheelchair to get around town, she also uses other forms of transportation like Para-transit, and the city buses to get around Columbia. Dawn says that in her perfect transit system, those who work during the third shift would be able to get to work and back home, and that there would also be Sunday bus service. Dawn also believes that Columbia should create one large bus system, and that it would be awesome if all three colleges could come together to make improvements for the good of Columbia.
