With wayfinding on the top of everyone's mind, I decided to submit my solution to the problem. With a slight rebrand and some station name tweaks, we can create a system that is both legible and easy to navigate! I present DT, Downtown Transit!

The trend shift in adults per family household is so insane.

its even more insane that every important policymaker and economist thought we were slowly soaking up a glut of homes even into the 2010s.

House Republicans wanted to cut funding for public transit by 98%! I stood in the way and STOPPED them.

I was at Community Transit today to talk about new funding I secured for the Swift Gold Line bus rapid transit project.
