Story Ask Language

Here is a draft email/message that could be sent to potential participants.

I hope this message finds you well. We are excited to share our partnership with the "Transit Is Why" initiative through our friends at WSTA, and we would love for you to be a part of it!

Our goal with this initiative is to highlight the vital role that transit plays in the lives of diverse groups within our community. By sharing personal stories, we aim to showcase how transit impacts individuals and families, enhancing our collective understanding and appreciation of public transportation. 

We believe your unique perspective and experience with transit would be incredibly valuable to this initiative. We are inviting you to participate in a short video where you can share your story or share with us a short narrative that we could use in the amplification. The entire process will take no more than an hour of your time, and to make it as convenient as possible, the team members supporting the initiative are happy to come to you.

Here's what you can expect:

• A brief, informal interview about your transit experience.

• A chance to share how transit has made a difference in your life or community.

• A relaxed, comfortable setting to ensure you feel at ease while sharing your story.

Your story can inspire others and help highlight the significance of transit in our region. By participating, you will be contributing to a broader narrative that underscores the value of public transportation for everyone.

If you are interested in joining our initiative, please let us know your availability, and we will coordinate a time that works best for you.
