Do you know who Mary Wallace is? In 1974, she became the first woman bus driver for @cta and drove busses for more than 30 years at the agency. Thanks to this pioneer! #BlackHistoryMonth

"Together, we must remove the physical barriers we have created and the social barriers that we have accepted. For ours will never be a truly prosperous nation until all within it prosper." - George H.W. Bush at the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. #RIP41

Man at bus stop:”You’re lucky that all the buses have ramps.”
Luck has nothing to do with it.
Access is a legal right, not a fortuity.
The only reason we have any access at all is that disabled people fought for decades for it.
The fight continues.

A5 #CompleteStreets, #VisionZero, #SafeRoutes, & #slowthecars support safe walking.
Since land-use goes hand-in-hand with transportation, zoning & development incentivizing mixed-use & infill & discouraging sprawl also support safe walking. #SafeWalks salud.to/2BFMSuz
