“…to create a city where Houstonians can walk and roll, safely and easily, as we need.”

Walk and Roll Houston is a 501(c)(3) organization founded by the community, for the community. We believe in freedom of mobility for everyone, regardless of age or ability.

We are not an advocacy organization. Instead, we

Identify local projects where
We can have meaningful, intentional impact and
Prioritize those projects and then
Organize the community to take action.

Every child deserves a safe route to school! With HISD cutting bus transportation for commuters over 3 miles away, more children are walking and rolling to school, and more drivers are in the carpool line. Thank you to the community grandparents, parents, disabled, and kids who continue to plead for the safety of our most vulnerable. Let’s protect the tiniest voices—because they can’t protect themselves. One year later, after the community pleaded with @houstonmayor to preserve the safety of all by protecting 11th street, the community is back to continue to ask to be heard. #SafeRoutes #ProtectOurKids #walkandrollhouston

Crazy how history repeats itself… dejá vu. One year later, and here we are again—11th Street back in the spotlight as a threat. With April 11 Proclaimed “I❤️11th Day” by Mayor Whitmire just 1 year ago, here is a reminder of our bravest moms who speak up at City Hall for the tiny voices who have none to protect the safety of most vulnerable. Thank you to Moms of Hogg PTO for advocating for the safety of the tiniest Houstonians in the Heights at City Hall just 1 year ago. We hope our Houston Mayor has heard how important it is to look out for the safety of our tiny Houstonians in mind. 11th street has given Safe Routes to School to so many families who walk and roll, and now we have data to show it. In preparation for annual I❤️11th Day, visit @ataleoftwobridges to find out how you can volunteer to help save 11th street.#walkandrollhtx #mobility #safety #saferoutestoschool #ilove11thstreet #i❤️11th

Great news! The Downtown TIRZ has awarded the contract for the Montrose pedestrian bridge at Allen Parkway. No ETA was given but it's in design. See how it complements the Tolerance Sculptures.

When change isn't made, change doesn't happen. Two months into 2025 and already 21 Houstonians have died while walking and rolling. The Mayor works daily to make it worse, not better.

2024's numbers are grim but not surprising. When changes aren't made, change doesn't happen. Since taking office last year, the Mayor has cancelled, paused and radically altered dozens of safety improvement projects. The Mayor regularly ignores the community. Visit us at www.walkandrollhouston.com/contact to find out how you can get involved. Thank you to Bryan Dotson for tracking and sharing this invaluable data.

@ataleoftwobridges made this happen. Dozens of trees for the next generation.
