Meet the 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 is the Field Team Coordinator. She is a graduate Student in Hunter College's Master of Urban Policy and Leadership program.

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.
