The R.O.A.D. Committee is dedicated to identifying and removing barriers that prevent North Springfield students from reaching their full potential. Whether it's lack of transportation, limited access to resources, or other challenges that stand between our young people and their goals, R.O.A.D. works to clear the path forward. Through community partnerships, volunteer initiatives, and direct action, we're committed to ensuring every student has what they need to succeed - from getting to school safely to accessing opportunities that help them thrive.

One of our flagship programs is our community bike builds, where volunteers come together to assemble bikes for students who need reliable transportation. Each bike comes equipped with a lock and represents more than just a way to get from point A to point B - it's independence, responsibility, and opportunity on two wheels. By removing the obstacle of transportation, we're opening doors to after-school activities, part-time jobs, and educational opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. When we remove obstacles, we don't just help students get where they're going - we help them dream bigger about where they can go.
