ICYMI: Yesterday, Seattle City Council unanimously passed my Complete Streets ordinance, which will require the SDOT to build new and repair existing sidewalks throughout the city. This is a long overdue investment in our communities. More here: council.seattle.gov/2023/12/12/sea…

Shoutout for #WeekWithoutDriving, created by @AnnaZivarts at Disability Rights WA Disability Mobility Initiative, in very interesting interview with Ron Brooks of Accessible Avenue on paratransit, the ADA, more. podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6L… #MobilityJustice #MoveEquity #accessibility #transit #paratransit #ADA

With a new ordinance approved earlier this month, the City of Seattle is beginning to address Seattle’s lack of adequate sidewalks. Advocates from Disability Mobility Initiative shared with Guy Oron why it’s not enough to solve Seattle’s sidewalk problem. realchangenews.org/news/2023/12/2…

2 nondrivers and 1 transit rider (and sometimes chauffeur) in Olympia supporting transit rider representation (HB 2191) yesterday ! Disability Mobility Initiative

Flooded sidewalks is a choice we make when we invest solely in car infrastructure. Listen to Amara's story in the latest video in Disability Mobility Initiative sidewalk series @AnnaZivarts Seattle Department of Transportation Mayor Bruce Harrell Seattle City Council Greg Spotts

Lessons learned from a new crosswalk that Lake City advocates have been asking for for years: 1. Advocacy works 2. We shouldn't have to fight for crosswalk after crosswalk 3. We need a huge shift in the next transportation levy if we want any change

Thank @realchangenews.bsky.social & vendors for letting me join your organizing meeting and sharing your transit stories! Whether it's sidewalks, streetcars, ebike access or benches, the next levy needs to focus on a transportation system for people not cars Disability Mobility Initiative

Is this a pothole? I'm calling it a pothole. See any broken sidewalks in Seattle? Send us a pic with the location for Disability Mobility Initiative new Seattle sidewalk story map. Upload them here: tinyurl.com/Sdotspotholes @AnnaZivarts

Sidewalks are about a city's livability, not just accessibility. "Just like a new road is fun to drive on in a car, a new sidewalk can also encourage everybody to walk around and get out more." Check out Dylan's Seattle sidewalk story

A sustainable, equitable transportation system benefits everyone while a back-to-basics transportation plan will continue to leave communities and our climate behind. Tell Mayor Bruce Harrell & Seattle City Council we need a levy that invests in our entire city! actionnetwork.org/letters/move-s…

We gathered on the steps of City Hall yesterday to speak out against the Mayor's proposed transportation levy which fails to address Seattle's safety and accessibility needs. king5.com/video/news/loc…

Seattle needs a levy that puts us on track to meet our city’s climate, safety, and equity goals. The draft levy proposal falls short. Join us in asking the city to put our money where our values and goals are, and improve the draft transportation levy! actionnetwork.org/letters/we-nee…

Tomorrow is the last day to comment on Seattle’s Transportation Levy proposal before a final version is presented to City Council. Now is the time to make your voice heard! Complete SDOT’s Survey: moveseattle.infocommunity.org/#survey

We're kicking of #WeekWithoutDriving in Washington state tomorrow with a community discussion @ Cafe Con Arte in Pasco! The challenge starts Monday. Are you signed up?

Words can't describe how powerful it is to work with so many disabled leaders during #WeekWithoutDriving when you are so accustomed to being the only disabled person in the room. Getting to end Day 5 by stumbling into "Please Touch" was so magical I could cry
