Introducing Beyond Streets! Why Transportation Needs a New, Community-Centered Conversation

In our first episode, co-hosts Greg Rogers, Greg Rodriguez, and Samantha Roxas kick off the Beyond Streets podcast with a candid, wide-ranging conversation about why we’re launching this show — and where we hope it goes.This isn’t just another policy podcast. Beyond Streets is a space for big questions, bold ideas, and grounded conversations about how transportation shapes communities — and how we can build systems that truly serve the people who rely on them.We reflect on the limitations of traditional transportation conversations, the need for a more community-centered and courageous approach, and why it’s time to rethink not just what we build, but how and why we build it. From access to essential services to the hidden costs of infrastructure, this podcast will explore how mobility intersects with housing, health, climate, affordability, and opportunity.This first episode sets the stage — and we need your help to shape what comes next. We want your ideas, your questions, your stories. Because if we’re going to move beyond streets, we need everyone at the table.Send us your suggestions, feedback, or voice memos at [email protected] or visit beyondstreets.org.Let’s start this conversation and see where it takes us.Help us grow: please rate, review, and subscribe! Reach out with questions, ideas, and feedback: [email protected] up with us on LinkedIn: Greg RogersGreg Rodriguez Samantha Roxaswww.beyondstreets.org
