Access to clean, safe and affordable transportation is a lifeline for any community. We believe everyone, regardless of age, ability or income level, should be able to easily navigate our city using multiple modes of transportation, without concern for their safety or excessive financial burden. Interns will work closely with campaign leadership to develop detailed plans to improve New Brunswick’s transportation infrastructure. Interns will gain real-world experience analyzing transportation patterns and design in an urban environment, and will have opportunities to communicate directly with transportation users to inform policy proposals.
