The Idea

Its simple! Take a chair that has been abandoned, ignored, or abused and give it some love. I call it re-FAB-ilitation. now take said fabulous chair and place it at a bus stop that has no seating.

The Specifics

I would use the funds to do one massive chair bombing of Orlando Florida. The chairs are free as each and every one is rescued from the side of the road or donated by friends and neighbors, so all of the money would go towards paint, tape, and re-FAB-ilitation materials.
Experience shows that mass chair bombing is more successful than periodic placing of one or two at a time.

Kudos, Brendan! There are many people in Orlando who must use public transportation who are in great need of your beautiful chairs!! Hope your idea goes viral!!!

Standing in the FL heat puts mass transit users at serious risk of heat stroke. The SIT Project not only beautifies the city - it also provides preventative medicine!

Crossing the street in Orlando is deadly business. If keeping people safe and comfortable at the bus stop saves even one person from becoming another pedestrian death statistic, it's well worth it.

I VOTE for this worthy cause, as part of a group of individuals who are striving to become the Best we each can Be. Our purpose is to make a difference as we know whatever we put out into the Universe comes back to us.

For weeks, I drove down the street where these chairs were. I felt such joy in seeing that someone took the time and energy to care about people who rode the bus-it brought me to tears. Most bus stops have no covers over them, much less places to sit. Please vote for this amazing idea. Thank you, Brendan!!

What a fabulous idea! Orlando is a humid sweat box of suburban sprawl which is made worse for those reliant on the famously unreliable public transit system. Just having a nice chair to sit in can completely turn someone's spirit around and possibly inspire a good deed paid forward. Kudos!
