For LA natives living in the early 1900s, bicycles and streetcars shared the road as our primary modes of transportation. But the arrival of the freeway effectively wiped them out. Today, a collective of cycling communities fight for protected bike lanes and road safety, determined to bring about a new era of Mobility Justice to the city.

What is Mobility Justice? 

Mobility justice is the right to safe, accessible, and equitable transportation for all, regardless of race, class, legal status,ability, gender, or age. It recognizes that transportation is not just about moving from point A to B, but about how we are socially controlled in public spaces. Mobility justice seeks to end discrimination in transportation regulation and accommodation, and to create a world where everyone can travel freely and safely.

What is Transportation Equity? 

Transportation equity means ensuring fair access to transportation resources for everyone, prioritizing those historically disadvantaged. It involves holding government agencies accountable to their commitments on environmental justice and transit equity.
