CicLAvia

CicLAvia is a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California, focused on promoting vibrant public spaces and active transportation. Founded in 2008, CicLAvia organizes car-free street events several times a year, allowing people to walk, bike, skate, and engage in other non-motorized activities in a safe environment. Since its first event in 2010, it has become the largest open streets event in the United States, opening over 348 miles of streets and attracting more than 1.8 million participants.

These events are free and designed to be inclusive, welcoming residents from diverse neighborhoods and backgrounds. CicLAvia aims to foster community connections, encourage healthier lifestyles, and support local businesses by increasing foot traffic during events. The organization collaborates with city officials, urban planners, and community groups to transform streets into lively public spaces that enhance urban life and promote public health.
