Street Ambassadors at Mt. Ararat Senior Center | Projects & Initiatives

^-A A ⁺A

Bedford-Stuyvesant Ocean-Hill Brownsville

An inclusive outreach process for transportation issues in the Bedford-Stuyvesant and Ocean Hill - Brownsville communities.

Ambassadors conduct surveys with two of the seniors in attendance

The Ambassadors visited the Mt. Ararat Senior Center to speak about traffic related safety issues in the community. Seniors are one of the most vulnerable populations in the city; despite being only 14% of the city's population, they account for 50% of all pedestrian fatalities. So speaking with them was of particular importance.

We wanted to know about the different modes of transportation residents use to get around, some of the different destinations they are visiting and what, if any, traffic related issues they are experiencing within the neighborhood.

As always, we distributed small giveaways as a thank you to participants who provided feedback.
