Seattle Trans Pride 2022 - Poll Results

Thanks to all who came out for Seattle’s Trans Pride 2022 event at Volunteer Park! Here are the 44 comments from our TRANSportation poll! This poll has a purpose. The purpose being that we are including the most historically marginalized communities voices in helping to envision/plan the next 20 years of our transportation systems in Seattle, WA.

We cannot reiterate the importance of finding solutions for how our BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities navigate public spaces. For our transgender community being our true selves in public spaces is often faced with violence.

As a transgender Latinx small owned business we know that we have to create opportunities to provide our communities with transportation resources. This is especially if we are helping to grow the movement of redesigning our streets for people, not cars. That’s why we want to give a special shout out to Lizzie Moll, Senior Transportation Planner, Policy & Planning at SDOT & VEO who were able to help us give away FREE helmets and transit swag!

What comes next? These comments will go into Phase 2 of Seattle’s Transportation Plan, where input from communities is still being collected from the Community Business Organizations who were chosen to do outreach & policy recommendations for the #SeattleTransportationPlan.
