Photo of the Week: Overcrowded

A photo taken by a participant shows how overcrowded buses in Raleigh can be! Overcrowded buses leave little room for older transit riders to sit and can be problematic when new passengers are boarding a bus that is already full of people or even must be turned away when a bus is completely full. Another good reason to advocate for more transit in the Triangle!

MVP Awarded SCRA Policy Grant!

The Mobile Voice Project was recently awarded the Society for Community Research and Action's Policy Grant! A big thanks to SCRA for supporting our project. 

The money from this grant is crucial to help us fund the bus tickets we provide to our participants as incentives and to be able to purchase the cameras and other supplies to carry out the project!
