Jason Roberts is the President and founder of the Oak Cliff Transit Authority, originator of the Better Block Project and co-founder of the Art Conspiracy and Bike Friendly Oak Cliff. In 2006, Jason formed the non-profit organization, Oak Cliff Transit Authority, to revive the Dallas streetcar system, and later spearheaded the city's effort in garnering a $23 Million dollar TIGER stimulus grant from the FTA to help reintroduce a modern streetcar system to Dallas. In 2010, Jason organized a series of "Better Block" projects, taking blighted blocks with vacant properties in Southern Dallas and converting them into temporary walk-able districts with pop-up businesses, bike lanes, cafe seating, and landscaping. The project is now being duplicated across the nation, and in 2011, the American Society of Landscape Architects bestowed a National Honor Award to Team Better Block for its work while heralding the Better Block project as “a 21st -century version of what the Chicago World’s Fair did in 1893.”
