Teen Transit Advisory Board

The Teen Transit Advisory Board is composed of Arlington County teens in grades 8th – 12th that have an interest in transit and want to be involved in making a difference.

During its first year, Board meetings were held throughout the summer and into the fall and winter. Meeting topics included:

• Introduction to Transit
• Transit Operations
• Research Results
• Marketing 101
• Conversation with Chris Zimmerman

Advisory Board meeting notes and photos

The Board also identified barriers to teens taking public transit and decided to focus on the following:

• Lack of information
• Convenience
• Cost
• Peers
• Parents

These barriers match the results of a transit survey administered to Arlington Public School students in grades 8 – 11. The Teen Transit Advisory Board also decided on the “iRide” name to promote the teen transit initiative and helped to develop the marketing campaign materials.
