Rebuilding Place in Urban Space

SEPTEMBER 23, 2022

Operating safely isn’t a choice. I guess WMATA still has this opportunity with upcoming 50th anniversary of the start of service--2026--to get their "stuff" together, rebuild the consensus, actually figure out how to operate the system, grow it, if possible, etc. We are keeping customers at the center of everything we do.

In 2005, I served on the advisory committee for the International Public Markets Conference which covered both DC and Baltimore that year, led a tour, etc. In 2009, I was appointed to serve on the Community Advisory Committee, representing the Eastern Market Preservation and Development Corporation. We did this in 2008 or 2009.

In 2009 and a couple times afterwards, I said it was necessary for WMATA to rebuild the regional/metropolitan consensus about support for transit. This let the system get sloppy in terms of finance, budgeting, and understanding why "WMATA is so successful at funding operations from farebox revenue." But the funding won't support that.

Use of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, blogs and photo sharing sites illustrate the flexibility of ICT platforms in supporting collective action and social movements while the mediums themselves are both inexpensive to operate and instantaneous; multiple messages can be conveyed clearly and consistently over the course of movement evolution.
