For the first time in Licking County history, several upcoming 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 Licking County Courthouse Lighting: starting at 6:15 p.m. on Nov. 29 on the Licking County Courthouse Square.
The Main Street Christmas Pataskala Cookie Walk: 3 to 7 p.m. on Dec. 7 on Main Street in Pataskala.
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.
