Transit ARTE

Miami Public Space Challenge

The main method of transportation in Florida is the automobile- despite traffic being considered utterly stressful. There are even some people who would rather pass time in the city until rush hour is over to go home. However, Miami-Dade has been implementing its mass transit but it's still not very prominent or as desirable as downloading apps for shared transport. Tourists, snow birds, students, and residents may not have vehicles to travel to the many events that Miami provides but they still manage to get there.

There is a way to mediate this! We can still stay active (healthy), safe, and support the environment by using the metroMover and the metroBus by creating and enhancing existing transportation stops, aka Transit ARTE. It is named Transit ARTE because the art and colors follow the stations or stops along the transportation route. Eco-Club Nation (ECN) identified multiple routes from Downtown to Wynwood to make transit safer, more seamless, and easier to find. With Transit ARTE, these stops will finally be seen, maintained by the community, and accessible to people of all ages. Underutilized spaces near these transit stops will also now have the opportunity to be accessible and more open to the public. What if there are community events and a movement to transform, re-orient, and revitalize the bus/metro stop?
