Eyes on Board: Documenting Harassment and Impaired Mobility |
Indigo Rosenberg in our recent blog post:
"Harassment is a real, yet overlooked, issue for many regular riders of public transportation. While it can happen to any rider, it disproportionately affects women, people of color, and LGBT+ individuals. Eyes on Board is a volunteer-led project, aiming to highlight and combat these incidents. The project derives its name from Eyes on the Street, a fundamental concept coined by urbanist Jane Jacobs. It describes how natural surveillance from residents, pedestrians, and passersby breeds safety and deters crime. The project consists of an anonymous survey, asking questions on the nature and details of the incident and a live map showcasing the locations of past reports."
Eyes on Board is led, developed, and maintained by volunteers, with assistance from San Francisco Transit Riders. |
