The Power of Place

Transit systems are exploring ways to strengthen communities by engaging and increasing a diverse ridership. Place branding can play a role in achieving these goals without major changes to infrastructure and service offerings. Places have the power to influence our emotions, feelings, as well as our actions. This session dives in to discuss place branding measures such as public art as well as the role place branding plays in creating rider comfort, connecting riders to surrounding communities, and attracting more diverse riders.

Speakers:

•  Vedran Dzebic, Entro
•  Katherine Dirga, Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority
•  Fiona Lyon, TriMet
