Travel, shop, and live locally
Join El Cerrito/Richmond Annex Walk & Roll (ECRA Walk & Roll) in advocating for mobility choice — streets that safely welcome sustainable, equitable, and alternatives to the automobile for both necessary and fun local travel in El Cerrito and adjacent neighborhoods.
ECRA Walk & Roll believes that the future of personal transportation for the Bay Area can't just be two- or three-ton cars, even if they are electric. Forty-two percent of travel trips in America are for two miles or less. In El Cerrito, where geographically nothing is very far from anything else, it shouldn't be necessary to drive a freeway-grade car to get to BART, get a haircut, or pick up a prescription. We live in a town with significant topographic challenges, yet electrified micromobility is rapidly addressing this challenge. Let's prepare for a green and prosperous future without requiring the financial burden of car ownership.
ECRA Walk & Roll has joined the El Cerrito Chamber of Commerce to help promote better access to local businesses by foot and bike.
