Sanjay Patel is a transit advocate and believer in the built environment for community health. Through his work at Soccer in the Streets – an Atlanta based non profit organization that uses access to soccer programs as a tool for youth development, he has worked closely with public/private organizations to collaborate on a network of projects aptly named StationSoccer.
