We are incredibly frustrated and sad that the Transportation Referendum failed. We worked hard but it wasn't enough. Still, we will continue to fight for better public transit in the ways that we can.
We’re advocating for a half-cent sales tax for sustainable transportation before the Orange County Charter Review Commission to consider for the 2024 ballot. Come out to the CRC meeting on 11/9, this Thursday, at 6 pm at Colonial High School, to give a public comment in support!

We are co-hosting a documentary screening with @Orlando_DSA! Come out tomorrow night at 6:30 pm to watch and discuss a documentary on public transit and social justice. Hope to see you there!
What we're listening to: Season 3, Episode 2 of the @TransitCenter podcast High Frequency featuring @RideNewOrleans public transit advocate Courtney Jackson, "Courtney Jackson- Rider-Centric Community Engagement in New Orleans."

Just watched a man bringing home a goldfish on the train accidentally pop the bag- fish flops onto the floor. 3 people swarm to save him (the fish not the man). Guy chugs the last of his coffee and throws the fish in his cup. Lady next to him empties in her bottle of water.
