Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend the TransportationCamp NYC unconference. An event that had so many people working in the transit industry, students, and advocates all learning from each other for a better society. It was so great to so many I recognized online!

This was my second TransportationCamp NYC, and had the opportunity to present twice! Thanks for everyone who attended! Here’s what I presented below Urbanism in Suburbia: docs.google.com/presentation… Over 190 Years of LIRR, Over 190 Years of Valuable Lessons: docs.google.com/presentation…

Inspired by GoGoSuprtoe, starting this Tuesday, I’m attempting to do the NY Transit Museum’s 50th anniversary scavenger hunt! Didn’t do all 50 spots in one day, but I aimed for nineteen! Starting with Radiant Memories by James Little at Jamaica LIRR

Took the 7 one stop to Hudson Yards for the inclined elevators. Didn’t get to have time to ride them but they are quite cool! The only NYC station with inclined elevators, but other stations with inclined elevators include DART's Cityplace/Uptown and the DC Metro's Huntington.

Finally, took the 7 back to Times Square and switched to the 2 to go to Penn Station to find handrails from the old Penn before boarding my train home with only a few minutes to spare! I had a fun day, and I thank the museum for doing this. Can’t wait to do more to complete it
