On Tuesday (June 30th), the MYARC cohort was immersed in the pilot Transit to Trails (T2T) initiative, an effort to make nature accessible by public transit 🚍☘️. We first met at the South Pasadena Metro Station, where we utilized LA’s public transit system, the Metro train (@metrolosangeles), to get to Memorial Park Metro Station in Pasadena. Then we hopped on a shuttle, the proposed T2T connector, that took us straight to Switzer Falls trailhead for a peaceful hike through the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument (SGMNM). ![]()

Through this module, we learned about the Transit to Trails (T2T) initiative, which aims to connect communities to green spaces by providing public transit access directly to trailheads and cultural sites along the foothills and into the SGMNM. This initiative helps break down transportation barriers, ensuring that everyone has equitable access to the outdoors, particularly those without a car. While hiking, we gained a deeper appreciation for the natural green spaces around us and recognized how beneficial it would be to have full access to them without transportation obstacles. This experience reminded us why it’s so paramount to support initiatives like T2T that ensures more people can experience the bountiful benefits of nature.![]()

We concluded our module with an opportunity for the youth to provide input on the T2T initiative where they shared wonderful ideas and feedback to support its success. Special thank you to the Nature for All team for guiding us through the day. Follow us to get updates on T2T! ![]()
