Metro Transit has an overarching goal of communicating the importance of public transportation to the Twin Cities community to raise awareness of transit as a community asset. Students will research the diverse stories of transit riders and how transit has been a part of their lives. Students will collaborate with SCP Artist-in-Residence Sarah Nelson to translate their research into illustrations. These illustrations will be displayed on a bus or lightrail train to engage the broader public with these real-life narratives. This course is part of SCP Arts.
