Guerilla Advocacy
Table of contents
No headers- There are so many things that are easily done if I only did it myself.
- Spadina streetcar is a prime example - create lines to show people that there are lines
- What can we do to make changes ourselves that will alert the powers that be
- how do you get people to "move back"?
- There is a fear that people won't be able to get to the exit if it's crowded
- Someone is attaching garbage bags to the DWA on subway platforms
- Is there a forum for posting these guerilla activities?
- Can we make signs/design signs and post them with rules in the system to help people have a more pleasant experience?
- There is a facebook group for people dislike people who rest on the left hand side of the escalator
- If these shared ideas were broadcast somehow on the TTC it would be helpful
- Take a loudspeaker during rush hour and telling people politely be careful
- simple stick figures to show how to act
- wouldn't it be great to use high school students to use their volunteer time to talk to people on the TTC to do some of these guerilla advocacy
- Where is the line between the organic fun / official selling out
- you have to have fun with this - the TTC is very strict when it comes to itself
- TTC used to have ambassadors to give people information about the subway on the platform - can we do something like this with Metronaughts on a volunteer basis? It doesn't have to be official
- Little vignettes on the OneStop Network about how to act on the TTC
- Advocacy transfers
- Sniglets (?) - new words that are made up of other words
- Are you a _______? Check off what you are using a sniglets
- Airport flashlights to show where the exits are
- Flight attendants on transit
- There are a lot of good ideas, but the fear of actually doing it is hard to get over (the Canadian politeness)
- What do you do when someone offers a patron a seat and it's refused? You can do it not making it obvious (get up and move without making eye contact as if you were going to get up anyway).
- Newmindspace is a great example of a group of people getting together to do an event without any permission
- No Pants Day (May 2nd)
- Is advocacy about solving problems or increasing ridership
- the end result is not to create huge changes, but more to take things into your own hands and make little changes that eventually may lead to an official change
- if there is someway to get the ideas out there, someone else might pick up on the idea and move forward with it
- is there an idea for a big campaign for public transit
- yes, but it has to start off small
- Metrolinks is thinking about making tv commercials to promote public transit - turning transit into an experience that you want to do
- There are communities that pop up around transit (either because you're waiting for so long for a bus or because you see the same people every day)
- The automated system has killed some of the more colourful TTC employees who have fun with the station announcements
- When there are events that stop the flow of the transit system, that's when these mini-connections are created with other passengers
- We have to have people out there who are willing to go out and express themselves in public spaces (hard to do in Toronto because we don't easily talk to one another).
- Establishing a friendly way to talk to people on the TTC is the first step so they don't think you're looking for money or crazy
- A poster that says "If you talk to or are talked to on the TTC, you're not crazy"
- Comfort levels are hard to break on transit
- If women are approached they may think they're being picked up
- Everyone thinks if they're being approached there is a transaction about to happen
- When you're talking to a friend on transit, you can probably engage others in the conversation more easily because they are more likely eaves-dropping in on the coversation
- advocacy: identify the target, who are you trying to convert? This is still a transaction of sorts
- Asking someone to change their habits is asking a lot of them, so you have to go about it in a positive way
- you have to generalize it so it's not individual - talk to everyone / abstract the ideas
- more random acts of kindness
- more outward demonstration of rewarding good behaviour
- standing at the top of the escalators and thanking people for standing on the right hand side of the escalators
- somewhere in South America gave drivers "thumbs up/down" signs if something was well done or not
