Transformers Join Joyful Safe Routes Gathering

Two Transform staff members, Program Director Stephanie Jim and Program Manager Sheila Islam, were among the over 400 Safe Routes to School practitioners, transportation professionals, safety advocates, and community development leaders who attended the 2024 Safe Routes National Conference in Fort Collins, Colorado, in October. There was a palpable sense of positivity, from the conference theme of Safe, Healthy, and JOYful: The Possibilities of our Movement, to the reception held at the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, to the invitation to partake in whimsical activities, such as the challenge to find tiny plastic ducks hidden all over the conference building.
