Transit advocacy, Philadelphia

I’m an urban advocate and volunteer board member at 5th Square Advocacy, where I work to advance safe, affordable, and accessible transportation for Philadelphians. I focus on improving the reliability, coverage, equity, and day-to-day experience of public transit across the city. I believe that strong transit systems help people live healthier, happier lives, connect communities to opportunity, and make cities better places to live. I write op-eds and speak with the press about transit policy, street safety, and the choices that shape how we move throughout the Philadelphia metropolitan area. My goal is to support a more connected, people-focused Philadelphia built on high-quality transit and streets that work for everyone.
