Fighting for the Future of Transportation in Miami

This week we speak with the executive director of Transit Alliance Miami, Cathy Dos Santos, to learn about the advocacy work of her organization, future campaigns for better transportation options in the greater Miami area, as well as some successes and pain points regarding using public transportation in the city. We'll cover the new Streets for People campaign, discuss the Miami Better Bus Network as well as tackle topics like the politicization of public transportation, and the importance of housing policy. Huge thanks to Cathy for taking the time to chat with us before our trip, and for this interview!
