Delighted to announce that after months of work, @abigailseldin and I, in partnership with @NatlHeadStart, are launching the Civic Mapping Initiative's Head Start Transit Map! civicmaps.org/head-start-tra… Also thrilled that thanks to @RideMATA, we already have our first new bus stop!
Our @shsfunds team found that just 57% of primary community college campuses have bus stops within half a mile. 🚏🚍🎓 Thank you @RepDerekKilmer, @RepFitzpatrick, @CongressmanKean, @RepWilson for citing our research in the reintroduction of the bipartisan PATH to College Act!
Thrilled to celebrate this new bus stop, which will drop children directly in front of their Head Start here in Memphis with Dr. Yvette Taylor from @FTA_DOT and Gary Rosenfeld @RideMATA. Wonderful to have @SHSFunds partner with @NatlHeadStart @APTA_Transit to bring it to life.
Beautiful day in Memphis with our @RideMATA and Head Start partners @NatlHeadStart, at our ribbon-cutting for a new bus stop at Head Start ON a community college campus @SouthwestTN
Federal Head Start programs are great ... for the people who can easily get their kids there. But a new report from @abigailseldin and the Civic Mapping Initiative shows how transit deserts fail kids: usa.streetsblog.org/2023/10/23/kid…
“I was so unsettled by the number of students talking about dealing with food and housing insecurity” says @JohnBKing - now is time for action.
