I worked in health research for 9 years. The last 3 were doing community engagement and translational science. During the course of that work, I fell in love with the role that public transportation has in the life of our community. Follow this link to PDFs of some of the policy work that was created by the coalition that I lead.

I see the potential public transportation has to heal our legacy of segregation and inequity. I hope to be part of improving mobility in our community.
Phillip this is amazing! Talk about practicing what you preach and living your passion. I wish you nothing but the best and I look forward to learning more about your journey in your blogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather! Please do stay tuned for lessons that I am learning. I hope you will spread the word because public health folks love a story.
