Our Work
Critical Mass Summit
Critical Mass Summit's goal is to reduce barriers to participation in the trails, cycling, and active transportation community. We’re creating a space that prioritizes marginalized community members while inviting existing stakeholders to create an inclusive, vibrant, and healthy culture.

Pass the Mic
Pass the Mic series hosts in-person panel discussions aimed to bring the Northwest Arkansas community together to listen, learn, and problem-solve ways to better diversify our region's trails, cycling, and active transportation scene. Hearing directly from members of the NWA community and national guests, attendees are invited to lean in and listen to experiences from marginalized communities. This event is open to the area’s cycling leaders, business representatives, partner organizations, and community members looking to learn and take action.
NWA Trails & Active Transportation Equity Report
In late 2021, Trailblazers partnered with Equitable Cities and BIKE.POC, to research access and use of active transportation networks by marginalized and underserved community members in Northwest Arkansas. The research found that despite residents' growing adoption of active transportation, minorities and low-income people face barriers to use and are underrepresented at regional events.
