This leadership program is open annually to those looking to hone their skills and knowledge around creating vibrant, safe, accessible communities for all people, regardless of age, race, income level or physical ability. Participants, paired with experienced leaders in the field and peers working in similar capacities across the country, learn about the historical underpinnings of the car-centric transportation landscape and the basics of design and policy that foster safe, inclusive, accessible design for non-motorized transportation while developing essential leadership skills. Over the course of the program, they also create a blueprint for taking action on a particular problem in their community. 853722 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 16 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 18 18 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MA OR X The Organization 5083199632 PO Box 30833 Seattle WA 98113 Mike McGinn Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 144649 0 7560 Benjamin Crowther Policy Director 40.00 0.00 X 100067 0 7560 Abdullahi Abdulle Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ashton Simpson Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Claire Stanley Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Dixon Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erica Gilmore Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Smith Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Mills Emeritus 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Frank Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nailah Pope-Harden Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Paulina Baeza Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie McCoy Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Tuttle Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Garrett Brumfield Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Miao President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Wendy Landman Vice President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Arlis Reynolds Vice President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Louise Lockett Gordon Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jose Leal Clerk 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 244716 0 15120 2 false true false 333684 565852 899536 19613 19613 0 919149 0 0 19613 X 14000 14000 144649 106268 21437 16944 519819 381894 77036 60889 56188 28223 23933 4032 55770 40621 8662 6487 43139 43139 335402 244353 91049 4612 4527 85 18869 11581 5084 2204 23381 9709 12766 906 32403 9774 22629 7549 7299 250 4970 4970 7675 7675 Other Expenses 3753 3753 1272179 853722 326910 91547 259317 13878 476213 541526 475618 179668 3537 3601 24850 16566 13253 8284 1227938 746957 180559 91608 39000 219559 91608 X 883379 495349 125000 160000 1008379 655349 1227938 746957 -353030 0 X false true X true false X 429462 954248 1407406 1662022 899536 5352674 429462 954248 1407406 1662022 899536 5352674 1514535 3838139 5706 2406 4186 12526 19613 44437 5499 1405 6904 5404015 0.71020 0.76530 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false true false true 3200 true 2740 false false false false 5940 Other activities to influence (Part II-B, line 1i) -Drafted letter to Congress calling for moratorium on Freeway Construction (Communities over HIghways SIgn on letter)-Action alert urging Governor Newsom of CA to sign legislation requiring intelligent speed assistance on new vehicles,-Drafted letter to Buttigieg urging reconnecting communities principles for all grants -Drafted Action Alert for adoption of Intelligent speed assistance for federally owned vehicles FSS national website petition ISA-Signed onto various letters to Congress from other national organizations urging funding for transit, active transportation and safety-Shared action alert urging USDOT to approve NYC congestion pricing-Emailed local organizations about these actions-Shared information on our website and social media about these actions 24850 16566 8284 8284 919149 919149 919149 1272179 1272179 1272179 false false false false false false false false false Mike McGinn Executive Director 144649 7560 152209 Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN EXTERNAL CPA FIRM AND REVIEWED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIOR TO FILING.
