The month of May we were in conversation about “Movement for the People” with our month long webinar series offering Equiticity’s Playbook for Community Mobility Rituals.

Equiticity is developing The Go Hub: A Community Mobility Center in the North Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. The Go Hub is a physical and digital space where neighborhood residents create community around mobility justice and environmental justice.

To help support the City of Chicago’s efforts to increase mobility, operationalize racial equity, reduce congestion, and increase revenue through fees associated with ridesharing companies, we call on City of Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to extend the current Chicago scooter pilot through at least November of 2019, move the pilot program to a permanent program, and require both the city, the scooter systems, and the Divvy bikeshare expansion to achieve explicit racially equitable outcomes.
