Case Study

Transit Forward is rethinking public transportation. Through thoughtful branding, strategic design, and innovative solutions, we aimed to make public transit feel modern, approachable, and inclusive.

Overview

Transit Forward is reimagining public transportation for underserved communities. The mission? To create an elevated, welcoming transit experience that connects people of all backgrounds, regardless of status or income. Through thoughtful branding, strategic design, and innovative solutions, we aimed to make public transit feel modern, approachable, and inclusive.

The Challenge

Public transportation often carries a stigma. Many Americans view public transportation as something for people who don't have cars or can't afford it. Transit Forward wanted to change that perception by creating a brand that inspires confidence and excitement for riders while addressing accessibility issues and encouraging widespread adoption.

Our Approach

We started by conducting in-depth research, focusing on the diverse needs of the communities served. From there, we crafted a bold, people-first brand identity paired with a strategic vision to make public transit more inviting, functional, and visually cohesive.
