Mobility for children 0 - 8 years old is our mission.

Mobility for children 0-8 years old is our mission.

The early childhood mobility world and its needs are the focus of everything we do.

How to reach and meet the needs of all children are the motivating force behind our innovation.

Keeping the big picture in mind, we seek to generate a larger network of families, educators and researchers for collaboration.

Kids are particularly vulnerable users of roadway networks yet we have limited focus on children in terms of design & operation. The nature of our systems limit their independence & access as well as put them at risk.

ECMC is a platform to bring stakeholders and practitioners together so we can collectively change children's future experience.

We seek to bring the mobility revolution into harmony with early development of lifetime skills.

We seek to influence a lifestyle that incorporates exercise, safety, and engenders good health.

We want walking and biking to be normal!

FUNDAMENTALS OF OUR MISSION -Children 0-8 years old- -Walking and Biking skills/ safety- -Equity and inclusion-

While much is changing, proven walking and biking remains steadfast.

Born of National Bike Summit 2021, our members from Hawaii, California, Ohio, and Virginia came together to bridge the gap in mobility for kids 0 - 8 years old.
