How to take part in the TRANSIT M♥VES ME photo campaign to tell Gov. Shapiro transit must be a top priority!

Guidance for taking photos:

  • Write the sign in Sharpie or print from a digital doc
  • Sign should be horizontal
  • Font should be large and cover the entire page
  • Message is: I am a ____________ [insert job title] and transit moves me <3 
  • Hold it high: under your face
  • Photo should be taken in portrait orientation/vertically
  • Don’t take a back lit photo: Make sure the light source in the room is shining on you and the sign
  • If possible, have someone else take the photo so that nothing is left out of the frame
  • Take a couple photos so you can decide which one you like best and don’t forget to smile! 🙂

Once you have your photo:

  • Send your photo to Connor at connor@transitforallpa.org with a sentence or two about why you’re taking action!
  • Post it to social media with the following message:
    I am an essential worker and transit moves me!
    Hey @governorshapiro! Public transit needs more funding so we can connect all our neighbors.
