We advocate for better active and public transportation in Ventura County
We believe everyone deserves a house to live in. We think that people should not have to solely rely on a personal automobile to get their groceries. We think its a great injustice that our beautiful open space needs to be sacrified in the name of suburban spawl.
We live in such a beautiful area and should want to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy it.

Updates to the Simi Valley Bicycle Master Plan
In the next year, Simi Valley will be updating its Bicycle Master Plan, which has not received any updates since 2008. This is a great opportunity to have a positive impact on the safety of our bicycle infrastructure and encourage people to consider other modes of transportation within their local environment.

Improving Active Transportation Around Simi Valley Schools
Like clockwork, twice every weekday, the streets of Simi Valley become saturated with the cars of the tens of thousands of people who commute to work and school. Parents sit idling in their cars waiting for their turn to drop their kids off and wish them a good day. This is just a generally accepted way of life for all residents. However, things don’t need to be this way. A significant chunk of students live a 10-20 min bike ride from school yet are still shuttled around by family or neighbors because biking often seems too stressful or dangerous. If we want to reduce the traffic on our roads, improve the quality of our air and allow our students to be more independent, we urgently need to improve the safety and experience of our biking infrastructure.
