The idea
Public bathrooms in parks and transit hubs. And ALSO, lockers in transit hubs, for anyone traveling on foot/bike/T etc
Who it helps and why
Poor people and people of color have longer commutes and are more likely to rely on transit. Public bathrooms help everyone, especially people spending long periods of time in public. Lockers make it more possible for people to use alternative transit and enjoy the city!
