TRANSITCENTER
In this model, a civic vanguard—or neighborhood leader—brings forth ideas for improving transit, makes them palatable to city leadership, and demands a change. By raising money for transit improvement projects from their neighbors and demonstrating solutions that they would ultimately like to see replicated across the transit system, the Trick Out My Trip leaders have filled the role of civic vanguards. These ten resident-led projects are at once a proof of concept and, because they are citizen-funded, strong evidence of the community’s demand for action on the part of their transit agencies.
