Since 1978, TCIL has been a consumer-controlled, community-based, cross-disability, non-residential, non-profit organization that is designed and operated within a local community by and for people with disabilities.

08/31/2025

As Cal Poly Humboldt professor Aaron Donaldson points out, people without disabilities often fail to recognize features of the built environment that create safety, access, and mobility problems for people with disabilities. Even when those problems are pointed out, people with the power to fix them often respond by minimizing, dismissing, or neglecting the issue.

At CRTP, we believe that transportation facilities and other public spaces must be designed to work everyone. As our vision statement says, we are passionate about creating a world where walking, biking, public transit, and other modes of transportation are equitable, safe and comfortable for people of all races, ethnicities, cultures, income levels, genders, ages and abilities. If you have experienced a hazardous location on a street or road, or a crash or near-miss, one small but important step is to report it on Street Story.

Diversion services at TCIL start by identifying individuals at-risk of entering institutions. An institution can be categorized as any long-term care facility such as a nursing home, mental health facility, state school or prison/jail. The ADRC Service Coordinator uses a survey to assess referred individuals.

By connecting at-risk individuals and families with community resources, information, and referrals, TCIL mitigates and intervenes against institutional entry. This includes collaborating with Area 1 Agency on Aging for fall risk assessments, providing referrals for home safety, assistive technology, and durable medical equipment, and assisting with housing, Medi-Cal, and CalFresh applications. Diversion also aims to help consumers identify personal goals and support them in self-care, independent living, and self-advocacy.

For more information about our services, please visit our website or contact our office at (707) 445-8404. We are here to help you or anyone you know who could benefit from our assistance.

Dogs have been helping humans for quite a while working beside us with roles in therapy, guide work, and other public services. There are countless famous companions.

Week Without Driving
September 29-October 5, 2025



Did You Know?
Nearly one-third of people in the U.S. cannot drive due to age, ability, financial constraints, & other barriers. Yet, our transportation systems & communities are still designed around driving.

What's Happening?
The Week Without Driving is an annual, nationwide initiative designed to give decision makers & individuals an opportunity to set aside their keys for a week to see what life is like for those who cannot drive. By taking other forms of transportation, participants experience both the limitations & benefits of traveling without driving.

Can I Participate?
Anyone can participate, whether you're a community member, elected leader, public sector employee or professional. You can travel however you'd like, but avoid driving yourself. Remember, this is not a disability simulation & driving does not signify failure. The goal is to understand how nondrivers navigate their daily travel & what choices they might face.
