Don't be surprised if you see our new Health & Safety coordinator out in the city or in your neighborhood:

"Last week the Innovation Team, with the Office of Environmental Quality, hosted a Meet & Greet Workshop discussing the city's 6 climate action strategies: mobility, food, energy, waster and materials, homes and buildings, and natural systems. Partners, who specialized in supporting each of the action strategies, and attendees were invited to select their top three priorities." - Catherine "Jo" Chappell, MSW

Did you miss it? We'll share future i-Team Meet & Greet Workshop Event Details in our New You Can Use updates ( sign-up here: https://cfn.umkc.edu/newsyoucanuse/ )

Mobility is vital to our cities, neighborhoods, and the people who call them home. Staying informed about changes to our transportation systems and understanding how we can respond, is essential to ensuring residents can continue to access opportunities, resources, and the places they need to go.

Our recent Mobility Impact Session brought community members and local leaders together to discuss past and current changes in Kansas City’s mobility landscape, with a particular focus on KCATA bus service and what these changes mean for our neighborhoods.

A special thank you to our partner and host, the Anita B Gorman Conservation Discovery Center, and to all of our panelists for sharing their knowledge, perspectives, and insights with us. Panelists are listed in the comments!

Conversations like these help keep our neighborhoods informed, connected, and part of the conversation about the future of mobility in Kansas City.
