Safe Streets Austin is a movement to transform Austin’s streets, bikeways, and trails into safe, vibrant, and equitable places for people of all ages and abilities to walk, bike, roll, and gather. Long time advocacy organizations and champions of safe streets, Bike Austin, Walk Austin, and Vision Zero ATX have joined forces to create Safe Streets Austin, a local, non-profit organization. Safe Streets Austin, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that leverages over 40 years of local advocacy experience, seeks to unite the community through grassroots engagement, build a common vision for streets and urban trails, and hold decision makers accountable for manifesting this vision. We facilitate and publicize demonstration projects, such as Living Streets installations, and we publicly celebrate successful programs and initiatives.

Day 2 of 🧡 Every effort counts!

Try a week, a day, or just one trip without driving. If that isn’t possible, pause and ask yourself: How would I get to work, buy groceries, or meet friends if I couldn’t drive?

The intention is to understand everyday life for people who don’t drive. Notice what makes a trip possible, what creates barriers, and what would make getting around easier for everyone.

However you participate, your reflection is part of the challenge. What have you noticed so far? 👇
