We were excited to join @ODRDC at the 2026 Employment First Summit at the MLK Library! We connected with job seekers about future opportunities and shared important information about their protected traits and how these protections support them in their job search.
Director Stephan asked me to share my experience, so I’m sharing how I used DC Yellow cab accessible taxi to navigate my commute home from work! #weekwithoutdriving
Today, Director Stephen is taking the metro. One of the great things about public transit is that accessibility is built in with elevators, accessible entrances and platforms, and designated seating. #weekwithoutdriving

Lunch break walk for #WeekWithoutDriving reminds me how sidewalks shape how we move. Curb ramps and automatic signals help everyone, while blocked paths create real barriers. Whether you walk, roll, or ride accessibility matters.

⚠️ Look Up! Be alert for branches continuing to fall after last night’s storm
Protect yourself from falling debris:
🚷 Avoid walking directly beneath low-lying branches
🥾 Wear closed-toe shoes and watch your step around debris
🚗 Don't park near trees that appear at-risk
