Meet the 2022 TA Field Team
Transportation Alternatives’ Field Team is BACK! After a two-year hiatus because of COVID-19, our team of ambassadors are out and about across New York City talking about our campaigns, activism, and work in all five boroughs.
Meet our Field Team
Leora Nevins
Crown Heights, Brooklyn
Leora Nevins is the Field Team Coordinator. She is a graduate Student in Hunter College's Master of Urban Policy and Leadership program. She loves taking the 4/5 between Hunter and Crown Heights, but dislikes the 59th street station. Find her in Prospect Park picnicking with friends, or collecting petitions with the Ambassadors.
Favorite TA campaign? Central Harlem Bikeway
Bea Albino
Washington Heights, Manhattan
Hailing from Los Angeles and having just moved to the city early this year, the transit system has grown to be one of Bea’s favorite parts of living here. Working with TA has given her the opportunity to appreciate and push for improved transportation in all boroughs. Though she misses the waves, you’ll probably catch her scooting through the streets on her longboard.
