Wildfires, flash floods, and earthquakes are part of our lives in California. If you were asked to leave your home in an emergency as a person with a disability, would you know what to do? (1/3)

transportation and mobility inequity is real and it is pervasive! transportation DATA inequity is just one contributing factor. #moveequity
Today, my colleagues saw a presentation from SDOT that only reinforces what we in Southeast Seattle already know: Our streets are not safe. They are not safe for kids, for elders, for people with low vision, for anyone who cannot drive for health-related or economic reasons.

#moveequity is about investment in the fabric of our communities- sidewalks, those infrastructure pieces that link every mode of transportation, connect all of us to economic opportunities, services and social engagement! @OpenSidewalks
