Making DTLA Safe & Accessible for All

We are a coalition of passionately dedicated people who want to transform Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) into a truly accessible and inclusive place for everyone to live, work, visit, and play.

We believe DTLA has the potential to be a vibrant community for all, but we need to invest in the infrastructure and access to transit that are currently barriers to safe travel and accessibility for everyone. Improving accessibility for people with disabilities and seniors improves the DTLA experience for all of us.
