I am very excited to have the opportunity to serve as a rider ambassador for the Piedmont Regional Transit Authority (PART), our local regional transit authority. What this means is that I will be working in a bus ride twice a week and also volunteering to work at a rider awareness event several times over 6 months.

I’m going to use this opportunity to do some write-ups, interviews and also reflect on what it’s really like to use public transportation in a place that was always built for the car it seems.
