Host a Bench

Host a Bench!

The Journey Bench project is a community project using interactive benches painted by local artists to get people talking about public transit experiences. By hosting a bench in your nonprofit lobby or activity room, you can support transit accessibility and mobility justice. Bench hosts receive a weatherproof bench to display, website recognition, and a chance to engage others around important transit issues. Let us know if you're interested in hosting one of these creative benches and sparking transit conversations in our community!
