Stream the interview below.

Michael Schneider, Founder of Streets For All, joined our August chapter meeting to discuss his work advocating for safer streets and better transit options.

A lifelong Angeleno, Michael founded Streets For All in 2019 to make LA’s streets safe for all modes of transportation. Having traded his car for a bicycle a decade ago, Michael became curious about why LA— with the world’s best weather — has some of the world’s worst bike infrastructure.

Michael led Healthy Streets LA, a City of Los Angeles ballot measure to require the city to follow its own streets improvement plan. Voters approved Measure HLA by an overwhelming majority, making safer streets in Los Angeles mandatory.

Other transformative projects Streets for All has been involved in include Venice Blvd For All (dedicated bus and bike lanes), Destruction for Nada (stopping freeway widening), and Marina Central Park (housing and park instead of a freeway). The organization is also active in Sacramento, where its helped make or change laws to further the cause.

Michael has been a frequent op-ed contributor to the Los Angeles Times. Earlier this month, he penned an essay titled “How many kids must die before L.A. makes streets safer?” and in February he wrote “Metro needs to stop making traffic — and climate disasters — worse”.
