“Since we had been teaching this class at TriMet for the past 3 years, we have seen a complete 180 in the way that our committee engages more positively, in a more engaged way with our staff. . . . Consistently their feedback to presenters is, oh my goodness, this is the best presentation I’ve ever seen. I actually understand how that new bus rapid transit line is actually going to impact me. Thank you so much.”

“Constantly having to advocate for your space in the world is exhausting. So if all of us just do a little bit of planning, take a little bit of a proactive approach, use a little bit of universal design, we can support our whole communities without them having to constantly remind us to think of them. And I think that that’s really powerful.”
