SLATE-Z celebrates our second Resident Advisory Committee (RAC) cohort’s commencement. The goal of the RAC is to support effective development of residents as leaders and ambassadors for their neighborhoods and communities.
The RAC members went through an orientation and 12 weeks of trainings with topics including:
Building Healthy Communities through Mobility Justice
Landscape Analysis of Mobility in South Central Los Angeles
Universal Basic mobility in South Central Los Angeles
Power Dynamics
Tour of South-Central Los Angeles
Civic Engagement for Mobility Projects
Developing Leadership Skills
Group Decision Making
After the trainings, selected RAC members go on to participate in the Sustainable Transportation Equity Project (STEP) Steering Committee. Their first meeting was last week and we are so proud to have a dedicated group informing the broader community about the Universal Basic Mobility Pilot Program.
SLATE-Z leverages existing relationships developed through previous community engagement activities to identify and recruit potential RAC members who are South Los Angeles residents passionate about increasing greater access to multiple methods of transit around the city.
