Crowdsourcing time. Anybody have photos of boarding maps/transit center maps/station area maps from different transit systems? I'm looking to collect as many examples as I can for a project. Thanks in advance!

Another design option. Simplifies the graphic and emphasizes the pictogram. Thoughts?

Question: would folks be interested in a line of tote bags with ST station signs on them? If so, do you prefer the old style (old font and pictograms) or the newer style (net font and station codes)?

So incredibly proud of the work we did to prepare and deliver for the world while maintaining service for our everyday riders. I worked with ST, CT, PT, Kitsap, WSFerries, SDOT, Monorail, Port of SEA, and more to get this done. All were AMAZING. I love my job!

A graph showing the ridership of each transit mode for each match day. Total transit ridership (Sound Transit and King County Metro) for each match day is: 529,762, 601,651, 549,959, 541,867, 573,253, and 648,878 for a grand total of 3,445,370 across all 6 match days!
