Congratulations @ride_circuit @FRANC_NYC for winning the @NYSERDA #NYSCleanTransportation prize, bringing affordable new mobility to #Rockaway!! We're honored to have been part of outreach and community planning! Can't wait for our 1st ride!

Kudos to the @JBRPC Education Team for conceiving and facilitating this program with awesome #teachers from the Waterside Studio School in Rockaway on the 10-yr anniversary of #SuperstormSandy. Building #resilience in communities is as important (maybe more) as on shorelines.

[Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy (JBRPC) @JBRPC]

In October, we partnered with the fifth graders at Waterside Children's Studio School on a residency program, commemorating the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. Read about the project, and the meaning of the student's #resiliency quilt. 💙
