We love the real time updates from Fred Clay, MBA, PMP, ENV SP's work in the field as a FUSE Executive Fellow in the City of Hayward!
Reflecting on my journey as a FUSE Executive Fellow with the City of Hayward, I am proud of the strides we've made in promoting active transportation in historically marginalized communities. In May, I had the privilege of leading the City’s Bike to Wherever Day energizer station, where we engaged over 130 residents, surpassing the participation numbers of previous years. This success was not by chance—it was the result of combining three decades of experience serving hard-to-reach communities with the marketing strategies I honed during my MBA. Through this work, I've had the opportunity to build lasting relationships, like the one with Nick from AC Transit, as highlighted in our video. It’s always rewarding to hear that people enjoy working with us, reinforcing the value of collaboration and mutual respect. This experience underscores the vital importance of tailored outreach in achieving equity in community programs. The ability to engage and empower residents from all walks of life is crucial to building trust and fostering long-term participation in city initiatives. As I look ahead, I am more committed than ever to continuing this work, ensuring that our efforts in active transportation and sustainability are inclusive, effective, and genuinely beneficial to the communities that need them most. https://lnkd.in/g7FZpg_x #communityengagement #sustainabletransportation #inclusiveleadership #transportationequity
