Here to There
by Studio Americana
The ways we commute and the ways we live are inextricably linked. Join us for 10 trips around the Twin Cities in 10 episodes. For each trip, we select a destination--not a place but a goal for our mobility system that we'd like to reach (e.g., accessibility, affordability, sustainability, equity). We start each trip in the here and now, and (literally) ride along with one Twin Cities resident on their commute (by car, by bus, by bike, by foot, and more) as they share their story of how mobility options affect their life. We conclude each episode by discussing emerging challenges and opportunities with a local leader in policy, technology, advocacy, or thought. Here to There is brought to you by Apparatus and Transit for Livable Communities & St. Paul Smart Trips, and is produced by Studio Americana.
