College student outreach

Build student-led transit advocacy chapters at UNLV, CSN, and Nevada State.


Why this project

College students are some of the most transit-dependent residents of the Valley. They’re also the people who will be voting, working, and running for office in this city for the next forty years.

Student chapters are how transit movements in peer regions stay durable across years. We will build the same.
