Thank you @SHSFunds for supporting this important work, and making visible what today’s students, including the 1 in 5 college students who are raising children, look like across college campuses in the US.
If you're looking for representations of the diverse college students who make up the new majority, check this out. This gallery features images & data showcasing the faces and backgrounds of today's new college majority--what we call #RealCollege. buff.ly/3UpzW4q

Generating 30+ features across local + national outlets and active bipartisan legislation in less than three years, the Civic Mapping Initiative also has expanded the conversation about connection between transit and economic mobility.

Our @shsfunds team found that just 57% of primary community college campuses have bus stops within half a mile. 🚏🚍🎓
Thank you @RepDerekKilmer, @RepFitzpatrick, @CongressmanKean, @RepWilson for citing our research in the reintroduction of the bipartisan PATH to College Act!
With CMI co-founder @MattCrespi joining NLC and working w/ @ecbakersmith, our partners @leagueofcities will enable thousands of communities to close these critical "last mile" gaps, expanding access to opportunity across the country.

Grateful for the many partners who have joined us in this work, esp @APTA_Transit @ACTNational @CCTrustees @NatlHeadStart @elliebruecker @tracysefl @saragoldrickrab @CarrieWarick @JohnBKing + many others who partnered with us on this Initiative!
It is our great pleasure to announce that our Civic Mapping Initiative has been acquired by the @leagueofcities (NLC).

With five new bus stops at Head Start preschools — and add'l stops expected at community colleges + preschools in 2024 — our Civic Mapping Initiative has improved the landscape for Americans accessing childcare, job training, and postsecondary education.

Thrilled to celebrate this new bus stop, which will drop children directly in front of their Head Start here in Memphis with Dr. Yvette Taylor from @FTA_DOT and Gary Rosenfeld @RideMATA.
Wonderful to have @SHSFunds partner with @NatlHeadStart @APTA_Transit to bring it to life.

About 30% of Head Start programs in CA are not located within walking distance from a public transit stop.
Advocates are calling on transit planners to improve access to the nation’s main early childhood education program for lower-income families.

There are 3000+ Head Start locations that are less than a mile from a transit stop, but too far for a toddler to walk.

Federal Head Start programs are great ... for the people who can easily get their kids there. But a new report from @abigailseldin and the Civic Mapping Initiative shows how transit deserts fail kids: usa.streetsblog.org/2023/10/…

Joined important @educationnw webinar on Friday re: new federal data on college student basic needs insecurity. Proud of work we are doing at @SUNY with @BeneDataTrust, @SchoolHouseConn, & @SHSFunds to address food insecurity, housing insecurity, & transportation obstacles.
“I was so unsettled by the number of students talking about dealing with food and housing insecurity” says @JohnBKing - now is time for action.
