This is the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives’ bimonthly policy and
current affairs magazine, covering issues of critical importance to the related
goals of social, economic and environmental justice. They have issued a
submission call on ‘Undoing the transit death spiral’. They have extensive
guidelines on the theme of plummeting transit ridership and associated problems,
including “The March/April issue of the Monitor explores saving, reinvesting
in, and reimagining Canada’s public transit systems. We are accepting pitches
that explore the following questions (and more!): Can we apply a racial equity
lens to Canada’s transit systems and, if so, how would this work begin? How can
we develop truly affordable transit that extends beyond the current inadequate
model of opening a single tier of affordable passes up? How do we fund a better
transit system? What does a functional intercity transit system look like? What
does a thriving accessible transit system look like? Where can we draw
inspiration from? What lessons can we learn from Ottawa’s P3 experience?” They
want feature articles, investigative journalism, illustrations, and book
reviews, that are rooted in an intersectional analysis between 700-1,500 words.
The writing style should be accessible (not academic or theoretical). The pitch
deadline for this issue is 15 December 2021. Details here
and here.
