    “This is an opportunity for young people to work alongside community leaders in an effort to strengthen the transportation options in our community,” said Eric Davies, Board Chair of Transit Columbus. “The response we’ve received from Central Ohio leadership has been overwhelming.”

Coleman, Short North Alliance Executive Director Betsy Pandora, Senior VP of Community Impact at United Way and COTA Board Chair Dawn Tyler Lee, Development Director of Cycling for All Brent Simonds, and President of Wagenbrenner Development Mark Wagenbrenner.

    “GOOD IDEAS Columbus is an amazing project that combines the emerging talents of young creative artists, designers, and marketers with the importance of promoting green alternatives for transportation,” said Commissioner Marilyn Brown. “It’s the best of conservation and creativity, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
