The Taskar Center for Accessible Technology

This conference explores nondrivers’ freedom to move safely and independently and examines how shared stewardship of statewide pedestrian and transit data is essential for achieving more just, and accessible mobility systems.

Understanding and addressing the mobility challenges faced by nondrivers requires coordinated data practices, cross‑agency collaboration, and policy approaches that prioritize barrier‑free transportation access. Join us as we discuss statewide data needs, mobility planning, and strategies for empowering nondrivers across our communities.

Dates: February 26th and 27th, 2026
