M4A Highlight
Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day is celebrated on November 14th to honor Ruby Bridges’ courageous act of being the first African American child to integrate an all-white school in New Orleans in 1960. On this day, Mobility for All hosted a Ruby Bridges Walk & Talk event at the Lafayette Wow! Children’s Museum. We had a great turnout with the children getting a Ruby Bridges book reading followed by a walk and talk about what it means to be a hero.

Sustainable Ski Transportation
Eldora is now implementing $10 parking fees on weekends, so the NB is looking even more attractive! The NB provides convenient, daily service to Eldora throughout the ski season. The bus's luggage bays that can easily accommodate your ski and snowboard equipment just make sure it's stored in a ski bag to protect your gear. Click here to view the NB schedule.
Another great option to get to the mountains and skip the stress of driving is the Snowtang. It will take you from the Denver Metro Area to ski resorts, such as Breckenridge, Loveland, and Copper, and back. This route runs seasonally from December 14 through May 4. Tickets coming soon on the Snowtang website!
