Our Mission
The Motor Avenue Improvement Association seeks to improve the quality of life for its members and the Motor community by assertively promoting the community’s interests and facilitating community services and programs.
Within the Motor community and its adjacent boundaries, MAIA will work to maintain and enhance appearance and safety, as well as create programs that will benefit and serve the entire neighborhood. Through this, MAIA hopes to assist business and residential interests, enhance the walkability and business climate of the area, mitigate traffic issues, enforce existing building and safety guidelines for development, and help our neighbors resolve problems, when possible.
Recognizing that the MAIA is part of a larger interconnected community, it is important to support our fellow homeowner associations, neighborhood councils, city council offices, local police and firefighters, and other stakeholders in pursuing regional traffic and infrastructure solutions.
