Momentum Refresh is the first-ever universal design mobile restroom resource in the U.S. Their restroom vehicle, which is the size of a food truck, includes a wheelchair lift, an adjustable changing table that can accommodate an adult, a ceiling hoist and an accessible toilet and sink. Trained staff members stay with the vehicle at all times to provide information and clean the space between uses.
Look for the Momentum Refresh vehicle at the following events in 2026:

LCBDD applied for American Rescue Plan ACT (ARPA) funds from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities in fall 2023 to support accessible restroom facilities. The Board received $190,000 to enter into a contract with Momentum Refresh and extended the contract with additional ARPA dollars in 2024. The contract will allow LCBDD to partner with community events and sponsor the vehicle’s rental fee.
