Event Photographer
Help us document the great work we're doing! We need a photographer to be
present at TALC events, such as our annual Summit and Walk to School Day.
Ideally, these would be digital photos. You provide the talent and camera,
we'll provide the occasion.

Media Database Updates
TALC has an extensive media database that lists reporters and editors
that cover transportation and land use issues at newspaper,
television, and radio stations throughout the Bay Area. We can use
some help with updating this information to verify that the
information is correct and up-to-date. This will involve making phone
calls or sending emails to check whether reporters still work at the
media outlet. Work can be done from TALC's office or potentially from
home. Weekdays is preferred but night or weekend work is possible.

database to writing letters.

Great Communities
Collaborative |
|
|
The
Great
Communities Collaborative is a joint effort by
the region's leading nonprofits to ensure that half of all new homes
built by 2030 are in walkable communities located near transit, at a
range of prices affordable to families of all income levels.

The Collaborative has
several student research opportunities
for a professional report/master's thesis.
-
Research and
Analysis on Proposed TODs
Analyze proposed Specific Plans or
development proposals to see whether they meet best practices for
transit-oriented development. Research the characteristics of proposed
TODs to facilitate using a traffic generation model to estimate the
traffic impacts from TODs compared to sprawl developments. Assist in
developing fact sheets to present results to city officials and the
general public.

Photographers
Visit transit-oriented developments
around the region (or the country!) to take pictures. We want to
expand our fledgling photo library of the good, bad, and the ugly. We
are also looking for photographers to attend community meetings. For an
excellent example of this type of photo library, see
www.pedbikeimages.org. This could become a nationally-known
resource.
