Join us this summer to document conditions at bus stops in Northeast Philly!
Transit should be accessible and safe for everyone. But too often, SEPTA riders have to deal with broken or obstructed sidewalks, dangerous intersections, a lack of shade, and other obstacles or hazards at our bus stops. As part of a city-wide project, 215 People’s Alliance is teaming up with Transit Forward Philadelphia to audit bus stop conditions in the Northeast. We’ll deliver a report to decision makers to build a safer and more equitable transit system.
Conducting audits is quick and straightforward. It entails inspecting the stop and the area around it and filling out a simple form. You can also take photos.
Get involved by joining us for an audit or by documenting conditions at bus stops on your own. Everyone is invited to meet up with us to audit busy stops in two Northeast neighborhoods:
-
Sunday, July 26 at Five Points/Fox Chase -10am to 12pm – Cottman and Rising Sun
-
Saturday, August 22 in Mayfair -10am to 12pm – Cottman and Frankford
Everyone is welcome, and materials will be provided. If you’d like to audit bus stops on your own, check out Transit Forward Philly’s guide. You can also view audit results here.
