Gabriel Ciavaglia | Technical Coordinator and Secretary
Gabriel is a software developer who is enthusiastic about urban planning and finding strategies to continually improve the City of Windsor and help it achieve the potential that he strongly believes it has. He discovered this passion after researching strategies to improve his city in the game, Cities: Skylines. Since then, he has become more involved in municipal politics and has written a proposal to city council advocating for bus lanes between the University of Windsor and downtown. He is excited to bring this passion to Activate Transit Windsor Essex to help drive positive change in the community.
Raymond Hoang | Research Analyst and Treasurer
Raymond started to work towards improving transit so that he could wake up 10 minutes later for an 8:30am class. Ever since then, he had kept going lobbying for better transit, so that others too can wake up 10 minutes later for work. He now does software development, and spend his free time working towards making transit better through data.
Connor Horman | Chair
Hello, I am Connor Horman. I came to Windsor to Study at the University and plan to stay long term. I love the transit system here but it could certainly stand some (much) improvement. I like to program, write, and ride busses, not always at the same time.
