Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access

Living Streets Alliance is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to fostering an environment that is inclusive and welcoming for diverse board and staff members with different backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. By welcoming “diversity,” we mean that our organization embraces differences in gender expression and identity, age, culture, ancestry, ethnicity, race, color, sexual orientation, physical ability, learning style, religion, familial status, marital status, occupation, veteran status, nationality, citizenship, socio-economic status, and the many forms of composite subjectivity and life experiences. LSA acknowledges the role transportation planning has played in creating and exacerbating racial and socioeconomic inequities and recognizes the need for centering and elevating voices that are traditionally underrepresented in transportation planning and decision-making spaces. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQ+ people.

They work closely with neighbors, businesses, community organizations, and municipal partners to create fun, welcoming, and inclusive experiences that foster streets as vibrant spaces for people and encourage/promote/support biking, walking, and transit.
