Generating 30+ features across local + national outlets and active bipartisan legislation in less than three years, the Civic Mapping Initiative also has expanded the conversation about connection between transit and economic mobility.

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!

[Seldin / Haring-Smith Foundation (SHSF) @SHSFunds]

With CMI co-founder @MattCrespi joining NLC and working w/ @ecbakersmith, our partners @leagueofcities will enable thousands of communities to close these critical "last mile" gaps, expanding access to opportunity across the country.

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! https://t.co/l0vKTHWjOx Also thrilled that thanks to @RideMATA, we already have our first new bus stop!

[Seldin / Haring-Smith Foundation (SHSF) @SHSFunds]

With five new bus stops at Head Start preschools — and add'l stops expected at community colleges + preschools in 2024 — our Civic Mapping Initiative has improved the landscape for Americans accessing childcare, job training, and postsecondary education.

[Abigail Seldin @abigailseldin]

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.

[Seldin / Haring-Smith Foundation (SHSF) @SHSFunds]

It is our great pleasure to announce that our Civic Mapping Initiative has been acquired by the @leagueofcities (NLC).

A trusted partner to 2,700+ cities, NLC will scale the Civic Mapping Initiative as a new program and resource for cities.

About 30% of Head Start programs in CA are not located within walking distance from a public transit stop.

Advocates are calling on transit planners to improve access to the nation’s main early childhood education program for lower-income families.

@FTA_DOT @RideMATA @SHSFunds @NatlHeadStart @APTA_Transit There are 3000+ Head Start locations that are less than a mile from a transit stop, but too far for a toddler to walk.
