Transform Transit has arrived!

Many years in the making, Transform Transit the board game was available for purchase (sale is over).

For the unfamiliar, Transform Transit is a cooperative board game simulating running a transit agency. The team tries to complete improvement projects while dealing with daily events. The constraints are bureaucratic bottlenecks, player morale, and general chaos. With some strategy (and luck), you can improve service and increase agency capacity!

The game was conceived as an educational tool, morphed into an emotional outlet, reworked to include more collective strategy, and tested at every stage. Thanks to my co-creator, colleagues, graphic designer, folks who play-tested it, and the OSF Leadership in Government fellowship for support.

The game is priced at cost and released under a creative commons copyright. You can make your own version! My goal is to start conversations about the challenges of policy implementation and what it will take to fix our government agencies to better serve the public and be good places to work.
