Arborfest Volunteering with Transit Columbus
Transit Columbus will be tabling at Columbus Arborfest on Saturday, August 22nd at Whetstone Park (3923 N High St). It's a free, family-friendly event running from noon to 5 PM with local organizations, nature activities, live music, food trucks, and more!
We're looking for volunteers to help staff our table, share what Transit Columbus is all about, talk to attendees about how alternative transit can help our climate, and encourage folks to get involved.
Shifts are available from 11AM-5:30PM (you don’t have to commit to the entire time period).
We also need a few items for tabling: 6ft table, folding chairs, and a 10x10 pop up tent (with stakes and weights)

Transportation Challenges & Solutions: Pathways to Employment
Transportation Challenges & Solutions: Pathways to Employment is a community-focused event for individuals with disabilities who are entering—or trying to enter—the workforce and facing transportation barriers. Participants will connect directly with vendors and service providers sharing information on transportation resources, assistance programs, and support options. Through powerful storytelling booths and interactive experiences, attendees will hear real stories of transportation challenges and successes, inspiring new ways of thinking about access, opportunity, and employment. Together, we envision a community where reliable transportation is not a barrier—but a pathway—to meaningful work and thriving futures.
Transit Columbus is looking for 2 volunteers to helm our booth, talk to attendees about transit advocacy, and share ways to fight for better and more accessible transit operations for all. Email info@transitcolumbus.org if you’re interested in volunteering for this event.
