Mission Statement
Walk Oakland Bike Oakland's (WOBO) mission is to improve neighborhood quality of life in Oakland by making walking and bicycling safe, accessible, easy and fun.
Description
The goal of WALK OAKLAND - BIKE OAKLAND (WOBO) is to galvanize interest in improving Oakland's pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure by educating residents, workers, business owners, and commuters.
WOBO was founded in 2007 on the heels of a neighborhood that successfully engaged neighbors, businesses, schools and senior centers around a proposed new Whole Foods store. Together, the coalition won design changes that included new crosswalks and pedestrian amenities, and bike parking and bike access on and around the Whole Foods site.
The initial focus around a specific development project soon expanded to the mission of improving neighborhood quality of life by engaging residents and businesses to champion smart policies that make walking and biking in Oakland safe, easy, accessible and fun. We envision an Oakland in which people of all abilities, ages, and socio-economic situations have the choice to walk and bicycle to jobs, school, shopping, and for recreation, and thus, to enjoy the privilege of health.
