Urban Greening: 

How would you reimagine the Mobility Hubs through an urban greening lens? Pick three priority Mobility Hubs and answer the following questions. Why did you pick them? What do you think is lacking there? Why did you pick these? What will be the outcome of these interventions? Make sure to propose and draw out urban greening conventions. 

Note: Think boldly; it does not need to be within the constructs of reality -- add a forest, close down a street, murals, a native microforest, etc...

Funding Tomorrow:

Metro is growing rapidly and must continue to find innovative ways to support and fund current riders and future generations.  Your team will create an outreach plan that explains how Metro could connect with young riders (under 18) and how to ask questions/gather ideas that could help Metro generate revenue.

Flip the Script: Rail Safety Education Outreach

TCAP students will produce fun and engaging content to promote rail safety education by creating 30-second to 1-minute videos that the Rail Safety Education Program can use in outreach materials for high schools. Each group will pick 2 -3 rail safety tips to focus on in the videos. 

Project Goal:  

Develop trendy and contemporary videos to keep high school-aged students engaged and remind students to be safe around trains and tracks.

Cool Stops, Strong Systems: Designing Transit for a Hotter Future 

Be a youth infrastructure auditor and designer, evaluating how Metro bus and rail stops perform in extreme heat today—and reimagining how they should function 20–30 years from now in a hotter climate. Students will assess real Metro stops through a heat, shade, and hydration lens, then design future-ready solutions inspired by 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympics needs. As a TCAP intern, you will use temperature comparisons (shade vs. sun) and tools like Metro’s online bus stop builder, ESRI story maps, and simple heat sensors to map and understand heat mitigation and resilience initiatives. Students will then use what they learned about heat, equity, and long-term transit resilience to design a bus stop/rail stop for these events, thinking about what attendees may need—shade, misters, maps, etc.
