The Bus.

This was a piece from the #ReframeRoadSafety campaign developed with NOYS
This campaign was calling out those who design, approve & implement inequitable transportation systems that disproportionately affect youth + BIPOC communities.

Poaching already scarce pedestrian space.

Centering the private automobile, a gluttonous mode of transport by nature, leads to inaccessibility & inequitable cities.

Aye!! 👋🏽 It’s Black History Month! We’re highlighting our African & Black Diaspora National Youth Transportation Equity Fellows this week. 😃 First up, Calah Gipson based in Tennessee! #MakeNOYS

Youth worked hard to advocate for infrastructure changes in their communities! The Your Voice, Your Action Infrastructure Safety Contest provided a platform for young people to use creative energy for advocacy around infrastructure changes in their communities. #MakeNOYS

Alternative transportation options are necessary for youth to be able to live and travel freely and accessibly. Thank you to @MyCityRides for supporting NOYS in uplifting the voices of young people in their advocacy for mobility justice and equitable transportation! #MakeNOYS
