Designing <br /> a curriculum around how our food choices are an integral part of climate change (and how <br /> we can have a positive impact). Vitally interested in ways we can foster more bus <br /> ridership in the county, facilitate more walking and biking, and keep bus routes and <br /> communication meaningful and helpful. <br /> Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: <br /> None <br /> Boards/Commissions applied for: <br /> Orange Unified Transportation Board <br /> Please explain how your background, education and experience is relevant to this board <br /> For most of my adult life I ve tried to minimize automobile use. When I lived north of Hillsborough <br /> I either biked or carpooled to Hillsborough and rode the bus to myjob in Chapel Hill. Now, living <br /> in downtown Hillsborough, I try to walk, bike, or ride the bus most anywhere I go. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I think there can be some fun ways to increase bus ridership in Hillsborough, and ways to foster <br /> more walking and biking. Traffic is already a huge problem, and just going to get worse. And <br /> lately I've found it sometimes hard to find the Hillsborough routes online, and recently the transit <br /> phone number has just gone to information without an option to speak to someone. <br /> Communication can be a whole lot better. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br /> I am an avid bus rider, cyclist, and walker. My interest in transportation is beyond cars and roads <br /> for them. I want to make my town and county ever more walkable and bikeable, with easy bus <br /> information and frequent pickups. <br /> Do you have any personal or business interest(s) that could create a conflict of interest <br /> (either real or perceived) if you are appointed to this board? <br />
