Addressed to Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada · Signature threshold 1,500 · Created February 19, 2026
Example initiative. This petition is a template written by the JFK Debate editorial team to show how the process works. It has not been filed with Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and no signatures have been collected. Copy the structure for your own community.
Most bus stops are a sign on a pole. In a desert metro, that is a health risk for riders who are disproportionately older, lower-income and without a car.
This example petition asks the agency to publish a ranked list of stops by boardings and heat exposure, commit to a number of shade structures per year, and report progress publicly.
Adapt it for your own agency by citing its ridership data and any heat or climate action plan it has already adopted.
Example outcome: the agency published a ranked stop list and added shade structures to its capital program, with progress reported at board meetings. This text illustrates how the platform records an outcome and is not a real agency commitment.
