We are building equitable mobility across Greater Cincinnati.
We unite community voices, nonprofit organizations, and sustainability advocates to transform our streets into equitable spaces where residents from all backgrounds can comfortably walk, roll, bike, and use affordable transit options in their daily lives.
Petition: Tell KYTC Covington Deserves a Safer 4th Street
Recently, history repeated itself at Fourth and Scott streets, when a driver crashed into a parked vehicle, sending it crashing first into a person walking and then through a storefront. It's time we demand the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) take further action to make Fourth Street the safe, community-oriented corridor the neighborhood deserves.
Gather with communications and outreach volunteers to collaborate on projects surrounding our current campaigns, membership transitions, and the community space launch. New volunteers are encouraged to attend.
This will be a virtual working meeting on Discord, use either voice or video on the #volunteer-call channel.

What organized power is necessary to enact significant social change, and how do we, inside and outside of the workplace, learn from progressive successes to win locally? Gather with transit riders, workers, neighbors and friends to discuss No Shortcuts: Organizing Power in the New Gilded Age, the near-classic manual by late labor and community organizer Jane McCalevey that has informed strategies in multiple regional transit unions seeing real changes, from streetcar expansions in Kansas City to mayoral elections in Seattle.
No Shortcuts is available locally at Downbound and Roebling, regional public libraries, and as an audiobook on Libby. RSVP for an excerpt including the introduction and first chapter. Please us know if you need a copy from our lending library.

Join us for coffee and conversation about sustainable transportation in our region. We're bringing the Sustainable Cincy Mobile Lending Library to Redtree Coffee & Art where you can browse titles on accessibility, urbanism, transit, walkability, and environmental justice while collaborating with others determined to fight for people over pavement.
No presentations, no lectures – just neighbors talking about how we move through our communities. Browse books you can check out, chat about your transit experiences, get campaign updates, learn about volunteer opportunities, and help envision a more sustainable transportation future for Cincinnati.
In June, meet neighbors at Redtree between 1-2pm, then ride the free streetcar together to CTSD's new community space at 118 Findlay St. Continue conversations in transit and meet others aboard to hear how and why they ride. Then, check out our full lending library and learn how you can use the new space for private and public events, workshops, meetings, and more.
