For the first time in Licking County history, several upcoming r events will be more accessible than ever — thanks to a partnership between LCBDD and Momentum Refresh.

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 2024:

The Hartford Independent Fair: By the Centerburg food stand at Hartford Fairgrounds, 14028 Fairgrounds Road, Croton, Ohio. The vehicle will be available to the public from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.  Sunday, Aug. 4, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 5 – Friday, Aug. 9 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10.

Pataskala Street Fair: South Main Street in Pataskala, Ohio. The vehicle will be available to the public from noon to 11 p.m. Aug. 14 to 17 near the main Portajohn area.

Pataskala Hometown Festival: Broadview Golf Course, 5694 Headleys Mill Road SW. The vehicle will be available to the public from 1 to 6 p.m. Additional details to come.

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 plans to partner with community events by sponsoring the vehicle’s rental fee as future funding allows.
